I'm far from a Linux or Java noob and I spent literally hours trying to get it working, to no avail. Calendars would get some entries but I couldn't get anything else. There's also the contacts suggested/added problem I mentioned earlier. If there is a real demand for this (which their seems to be) people should file a wishlist bug to support Google APIs natively from Kontact and I'll write an Akonadi plugin to do so when 4.2 is released. -- Cheers, Mike Arthur http://mikearthur.co.uk/
