not trying to convince you to abandon kde or gnome, but as an alternative: i use jpilot & sylpheed.

i like the minimalism while still using a gui (as compared to pilot-xfer & mutt ;-). but then again i use emacs/jmacs, rxvt, & midnight commander as compared to their "desktop environment" brethren, so maybe "different strokes for different folks".

...well now, I just don't know how much credence I can give to somone who uses emacs instead of vi or vim.... <big_grin>

Seriously, though, here's a strange update for kpilot/korganizer and KDE4.

After nudzhing every $#*&! setting I could twiddle, I discovered that I can sync my calendar and addresses if I *DON'T* sync notes and memos.

In kpilot, settings->configure kpilot->conduits. I unchecked everything except addressbook, calendar, and to-dos. I'll have to see what else I can find in the next few weeks.
