SyncEvolution
SyncEvolution synchronizes Evolution's contact, calendar and task items via SyncML. The items are exchanged in the vCard 2.1 or 3.0 format and iCalendar 2.0 format via the Synthesis C++ client API library, which should make SyncEvolution compatible with the majority of SyncML servers. Full, one-way and incremental synchronization of items are supported. SyncEvolution synchronizes personal information management (PIM) data such as contacts, appointments, tasks and memos using the Synthesis sync engine, which provides support for the SyncML synchronization protocol. SyncEvolution synchronizes with SyncML servers over HTTP and with SyncML capable phones locally over Bluetooth/ OBEX. Plugins provide access to the data which is to be synchronized.

SyncML (Synchronization Markup Language) is the former name for a platform-independent information synchronization standard. The project is currently referred to as ''Open Mobile Alliance Data Synchronization and Device Management''. The purpose of SyncML is to offer an open standard as a replacement for existing data synchronization solutions, which have mostly been somewhat vendor-, application- or operating system specific. SyncML 1.0 specification was released on December 17, 2000, and 1.1 on February 26, 2002. Internals SyncML works by exchanging commands, which can be requests and responses. As an example: * the mobile sends an Alert command for signaling the wish to begin a refresh-only synchronization * the computer responds with a Status command for accepting the request * the mobile sends one or more Sync command containing an Add sub-command for each item (e.g., phonebook entry); if the number of entries is large, it does not include the tag; * in the latter case, the ...
