Evolution simply doesn't have a concept of different kinds of
mobile phones. It
has to pick one of the available ones when displaying.
Another try is that I create
a contact with only work mobile filled on memotoo
and then sync them to evolution. In card view and list view, the mobile phone
shows empty. Thus I guess Evolution only read "TEL;TYPE=CELL" as its
default/main mobile phone.
We can help Evolution make that choice by mapping all kinds of mobile
phone
numbers to just TYPE=CELL. It can handle more than one of them. But clearly
that looses information.
Indeed. If so, when we sync them back to the server, then
server will be
confused and may make mismatch.
For now, if we create a contact on Evolution with 3 mobile phones:
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=3;TYPE=CELL:work mobile
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=2;TYPE=CELL:other mobile
TEL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=1;TYPE=CELL:home mobile
and then sync them to memotoo, we will get:
Home>>Mobile phone: work mobile
Work>>Mobile phone: other mobile
Other>>Mobile phone: home mobile
The alternative is to fix Evolution, so that it displays
TYPE=HOME,CELL *and*
preserves the HOME flag when editing. Not an easy job and won't help users of
older Evolution releases.
Based on above results, I prefer to reserver HOME and
WORK flag. If so, our
issue becomes "Which one is default/main mobile phone in your opinion, home,
work or other?" Evolution now chooses "Other". But actually, we commonly
own
just one and consider it as "Home" or "Personal".
