SyncEvolution 1.0 alpha and above can act as a SyncML server over HTTP. This lets clients sync to the SyncEvoluton server, with SyncEvolution acting as a hub between servers and clients.

It is also possible to synchronize SyncEvolution with another instance of SyncEvolution on regular desktops/laptops where both use Evolution.

SyncEvolution 1.0 alpha and above allow you to synchronize the PIM data on your SyncML-capable phone via Bluetooth. Nokia Symbian-based phones are the most common SyncML-capable phones.

Some of the advanced features of SyncEvolution depend on optional packages. In addition to the more obvious dependencies of the backends there are more subtle dependencies:
