You can set a "sync" value there. But SyncEvolution will not use it.
Instead it will take the "sync" value from the sync config used to
trigger the local sync and override the target-config's "sync" property
values accordingly.
OK, so setting 'sync' in the special target-config
SyncSource (Xmn) is
possible but useless. In all other SyncSources this is useful. I was
just thrown off by the "in one of the Xmn boxes", which I read as "in
any one of the Xmn boxes, at any line".
