So in other words, you have one sync config and ended up writing into different local address books with it? The choice of the default local address book is a bit fuzzy, but usually it should pick the "Personal" address book (aka system) even if more address books are added later. What does "syncevolution" (without parameters) say on your system? > How do I maintain more address books, like 'personal', 'business', > 'school' etc.? The SyncEvolution "backend" config property can be set to select a specific address book, instead of using the default. That should fix the problem of using the wrong one. Syncing multiple address books is difficult. SyncEvolution supports it, but most peers don't. A HOWTO involving SyncEvolution can be found here: http://syncevolution.org/wiki/synchronizing-evolution-http-howto#databases > Can I maintain such different address books also on my HTC mobile phone? > As far as I have found out, this is not possible. Android supports more than one address book. The Synthesis SyncML app allows you to choose and create local address books. I don't remember whether it supports more than one address book per server. If not, then at least configuring the same server multiple times with different local and remote address books should work.
