I've tried getting my Pocket PC, Dell Axim X30 high, to sync with my
Linux box without any success. I haven't tried installing the packages
in Ubuntu and trying here, will have to see about that :)

Now regarding your questions, well actually I can only "answer" the
first one. This is a known problem in the synce plugin since it doesn't
provide any time zone data to Evolution (taken out of the synce site), I
believe there is no workaround this problem, I might be wrong though.
As for the other two questions, for the second one I have not heard
anything about it, I might have heard something about the third question
but can't remember much at this moment.
