Re: Multisync-users digest, Vol 1 #812 - 3 msgs

Hi Mathew,

Sorry but bad news.  I've had the same problem now for months and it 
just does not work.  The syncml plugin does not work correctly with Evo 
2.  The authors are working on a new version of the plugin to work with 
opensync but it will not be ready for a while.

If you get a working plugin or other solution can you please let me 
know, and I'll do the same.

Jim
