I've been niggling away at my Nokia E71 synchrnozation problem ever since I posted here about it.
I think I now have a workable solution, it's not perfect but it's good enough for the present.
The downside is that it involves a web 'out there' intermediary, I am using ScheduleWorld (http://www.scheduleworld.com). I have my Nokia E71 synchronizing via my local wifi to ScheduleWorld and I have installed the SyncEvolution plugin for Evolution that synchronizes with ScheduleWorld too.
It's *slightly* clumsy in that I have to do two separate synchronizes, one each for the E71 and Evolution but it does, I suppose, give me web access to my contacts and calendar. There are plugins/conduits for most devices and software for ScheduleWorld so I could move to Thunderbird/Lightning if I decide to do so.
I'd really prefer a lightweight syncMl server for my home machine, the syncEvolution site does mutter about such a thing being on the way so we can but hope.
