Look at jpilot (www.jpilot.org). A nice gtk2 gui, and full
compatibility with my Palm Tungsten E2. I've been using it for years,
with occasional time-outs to try versions of evolution. I
always wind up back with jpilot. My email client, sylpheed-claws, has a
plug-in that allows it to tap the address book in jpilot.

With best regards,

Pete
