Because that is the typical half-arsed approach normally used in the OpenSource/PC world and I want a quality solution. Kontact has a lot of stuff scattered in a lot of places, much of it is no where near the .kde4/share/apps/kmail tree. I want something that will coordinate _all_ of kontact between the two machines.
It looks like kitchensync might be much of what I ask for, but it hasn't been ported to KDE4 yet...at least in the OpenSuSE repositories. I don't want to have a mish-mash of kde3 and kde4 pim. That is just begging for disaster.
Evolution has been trying to get this very feature built into it...too bad the rest of evolution is such an unusable piece of doo-doo.
Kontact provides 99% of what I need in a PIM...if and only if I can find a way to sync it between my notebook and my workstation. I travel around the country doing consulting, but spend quite a few months back at my home office. I want a clean solution which lets me pick up and go....no, I'm not ready to dump my workstation and live with only a notebook. That would be too high risk...until I leave IT I will need at least two machines so I can keep the stuff for other clients out of the machine I have at the current client site. Those non-disclosure/non-compete agreements lead to hardware replication.
