This happens about once a month

If it didn't work at all, that would be one thing.  The problem is that it 
works well enough to keep at it but it is very frustrating.

If Evolution is an option for you, its sync works flawlessly.  My problem with 
Evolution was Evolution itself, not the syncing.  In particular there are 
several annoyances in the Mail module, the Calendar is not customizable, the 
Contacts module does not allow for contacts who are not human, etc.  On the 
positive side, memos sync well.
