Hi,

I'd like to sync my mails (without using imap), my bookmarks (konqueror + maybe firefox ?) , my calendar etc between several machines (my main desktop computer, my computer at work, my laptop).
Is there an easy way to do that ? Can Kolab help me (I just know by name, but it seems a little overkill for this use case, is'nt it) ?
Thank for any answer :)



PS: thank to all KDE team for all this great work :)

Kolab will handle both your mail and calendar, and maybe bookmarks. Otherwise you will need to copy files manually.

I believe there is a Google Calendar / Contacts Akonadi backend currently in KDE Review, but Kontact / KMail don't use Akonadi yet.
I think support is being added to Akonadi to support Bookmarks also, which would open the way for easy synchronization.

Okay, I will take a more serious look at Kolab.
Copying the files manually could be a problem if there are differences in file formats between versions. Because all my computers use Kde 4, but sometime I upgrade one while I wait for an other to keep stability.
Akonadi seems to be a great solution for the near future :)

Thank you.

Don't you need a full blown server setup for kolab? Let us know how you get on, Goffi :)
