Introduction

This guide will help you to synchronize your contacts and calendar in Evolution with a Sony-Ericsson mobile phone over a bluetooth connection. This document was written for Ubuntu 7.10 and a Sony-Ericsson W810i but should work for other versions and models as well. Multisync is a stand-alone application to be used outside Evolution.

Requirements

You need to have an established bluetooth connection between your mobile phone and your computer. Please see the help page for BluetoothSetup how to complete this. You should also have an existing working setup of Evolution before you start.

Installation

Enter the following command in a shell:

sudo aptitude install multisync libmultisync-plugin-all bluez-utils

Configuration

Start multisync from Applications -> Accessories -> Multisync or

multisync &

Troubleshooting

If the the synchronization fails test different options for "IrMC Mobile Device"

Tips

Play around with the settings to suit your needs, e.g. how often to sync etc.
