Just wanted to let you know I got a Nokia N9 to sync succesfully with a private Funambol 9 server using Ove Kåven's repository. For reference my notes below (some superfluous but better too much than not enough): Thanks a lot, Patrick, Ove and Justus for writing syncevolution, the N9 port and the message with details.

Choosing a different synchronization mode may be the better alternative. Restart synchronization of affected source(s) with one of the following sync modes to recover from this problem: slow, refresh-from-server, refresh-from-client Analyzing the current state: syncevolution --status funambol addressbook calendar Running with one of the three modes: syncevolution --sync [slow|refresh-from-server|refresh-from-client] funambol addressbook calendar # so, do a forced sync from server (note: I didn't have important stuff in phone calendar/addressbook) syncevolution --sync refresh-from-server funambol addressbook calendar #check log in ~/.cache/syncevolution; seems ok # check normal sync: syncevolution funambol #second sync after modifying calendar, contact remotely: works #went into funambol admin tool and explicitly set timezone and conversion for N9 client. Don't know if that is necessary
