I'm not sure this has been a wasted week but almost all of it has been spent getting computers, (desktop and netbook) and Android phone all seeing the same email, contacts and calendar.
Still have a couple of little glitches to fix but I wish I had done this a long time ago.
Now I only read an email once and replies all end up together no matter which device I use to respond. No more trying to remember to BCC myself.
The "cloud" I used was Google and I started by setting up a Gmail IMAP account. I use Thunderbird on the computers and K-9 on the EVO for email all of them accessing the same Gmail account.
I had to add a couple of extensions to Thunderbird to get the calendar and contacts to work the way I want and now it is pretty easy to keep everything synced with the phone. When I get done I’ll have all of my contacts synced with Facebook, Twitter and Blogspot Blogs in addition to my email.
It has taken a lot of time but in the end it will save me tons and allow me to visit my son in Texas without worrying about what might fall through the cracks.
