SyncEvolution makes it easy to keep two instances of Evolution in sync, or to keep a phone in sync with Evolution. This lets you share the data between a desktop and a laptop or phone without requiring any internet intermediary. Setting up SyncEvolution as such an intermediary on an Internet server is explained in another HOWTO.

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. This HOWTO focuses on the usage of the HTTP on a remote server and thus stores data in plain files instead of depending on Evolution.

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