Overview

This manual page documents briefly the sylpheed-claws-gtk2-synce-plugin

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

sylpheed-claws-gtk2-synce-plugin is a plugin (loadable module) for Sylpheed-Claws GTK2 mailer.

This plugin assists in keeping the addressbook of a Windows CE device (Pocket PC/ iPAQ, Smartphone etc) in sync with Sylpheed-Claws' addressbook, with respect to email addresses.

It doesn't do real automatic syncing, like Microsoft's ActiveSync and others.

It adds a menu "SynCE" to the Tools menu, which does the following:

For every email address that is in the WinCE device and not in Sylpheed-Claws' addressbook, offer to add it to Sylpheed-Claws' addressbook or alternatively, just provide a list of such email addresses

For every email address in SylpheedClaws' addressbook, check if it also exists on the WinCE device. Provide the user with a list of email addresses that are in Sylpheed-Claws' addressbook but not on the WinCE device.

Note that no direct writing access to the WinCE device is supported (so far).

Usage

Before using a plugin you must instruct Sylpheed-Claws to load it on startup.

For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and select the plugin file, named synce_plugin.so, and press the ``Open'' button.
