So I wrote ASynK (earlier known as Gout). ASynK - Awesome Sync (by Karra), is a flexible PIM synchronization platform written in Python. You can find all about it on the project home page at: http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/ High level features include: - ASynK allows two-way sync of Contacts across any two support sources - Google Contacts, Microsoft Outlook, and Emacs BBDB. - ASynK is the only two-way synchronization option for BBDB known to be in existence today. So if you are keen to keep your BBDB content synchronized with a mobile device or Outlook, look no further. BBDBV3 is supported out of the box. BBDBv2.x (i.e. file format version 6) is also supported but it needs a small patch to BBDB. More at: http://karra-asynk.appspot.com/doc/asynk/asynk_2.html#SEC8 - ASynK works on Windows, MacOS X, and Linux. Outlook synchronization only works on Windows. - Synchronization is granular to the level of 'Folders', i.e. you can synchronize one folder of Google Contacts with a Outlook folder (on Windows at work, say), and another Google folder in the same account with BBDB (On your Mac, say) - The infrastructure is there to add more database and item types (i.e. tasks, notes, etc.), but currently only Contacts synchronization for Google Contacts, BBDB and Outlook supported - It is free software, and released under the GNU AGPL (Affero GPL) version 3 Cheers and happy synching! -Karra
