Is there any way somehow to sync the exchange calendar/addressbook/todos (and possibly mail, though I'm not so bothered about mail) with a local account for these in Evolution? I'd then be able to use the standard gnome-pilot sync to my palm, which (at least compared to my horrendous experiences with SynCE) seems to work pretty robustly. I'd then be doing: EVOLUTION (exchange account) <--??--> EVOLUTION (local account) <--gnome-pilot--> Palm Is this a crazy idea?

My configuration uses two accounts, one IMAP the other Exchange (via the evolution exchange connector, not IMAP). Whenever I try to add LDAP to the mix evolution locks up. This has been consistent behavior across multiple companies' exchange servers. Wayne.

I've been (lightly) using LDAP address-books in Evolution for at least the past year without difficulties. I have never tried syncing ldap to my palm.
