I don't think kitchensync is going to ever run on the Z. . . its purpose is to sync info from KDE apps (korganizer and kab at least, I'm not sure what it supports as it's not in Debian testing yet) to the Z and back.

Additionally, I asked Zautrix about porting some other KDE apps (knotes particularly) Platform-Independent, but he said there's a lot of X-Windows-specific code in them, and that they likely wouldn't be ported.  I can imagine this problem would be even worse for something like kitchensync.

I believe kopiemail will be included in the next release of KDEPIM-PI.

Once again:

OM/Pi is not a port of KMail.

It is based on Opie Mail v3.

And actually, I just released version 1.9.4 of KDE-Pim/Pi...

My understanding is that on the kitchensync side, that support is present or forthcoming for the DTM-based apps (i.e. the ones that come with the stock Sharp ROM's).  Again, I haven't upgraded to KDE 3.3 yet b/c it hasn't moved into sarge (if you can get it, I'd love to know if it works or not).  I don't know if/how kitchensync devel's would add support for KDEPIM/PI, although one would think it would be a LOT easier than getting the DTM format to work.

Otherwise, you can sync ical/vcard files directly from KO/Pi and KA/Pi.  There are a number of resources telling you how to do this, please RTM.  Also, I believe there's an app for KDE called ksync, which allows you to sync ical/vcard files (regardless of what app they belong to).  If you can set up a TCP/IP connection btw. the Z and the desktop (ssh is a good choice), you should be able to set up a sync'ing "pair" between the ical files on the Z and PC, respectively (ditto .vcf files for KA/Pi and kaddressbook).

I may have time to tinker with this this weekend to see if it works. . .

I encountered an Error 39 Initializing Folder error when using K Opie Mail.  I wrote more about it on this post <here> (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=7030&st=75) .  Does anyone know what the problem/solution is?  Has anyone else encountered this (or a similar) problem?

Thanks in advance!
