It’s kind of quaint to think of running Evolution PIM on just one computer so you never have to synchronize anything. When I see Apple Cult members trying to do everything on just a phone or just their tablet or one of those massively overpriced (and fragile) laptops I laugh. You are not a professional! When working on PC software, you generally need 6-8 machines. Yes, one of them will have at least 8 VMs … Synchronizing EvolutionRead more
