Back-Packing With Nokia N810

[Kip Warner]

Greetings Everyone,

So I finally got around to buying one. The following post I made on the
Ubuntu forum, but I just realized this might be a good place for it as
well.

So I would like to do some travelling and reasoned the Nokia N810 is the
way to go after doing some extensive research. I would now like some
more advice from the gracious forum community.

Throughout my travels, I will most likely want to record dates and
times, new contacts, and communicate via email. But there is always the
potential risk that my N810 might get lost / broken / stolen / etc.. If
that were to happen, it would be tragic to lose any of the various forms
of data I may have gathered throughout my travels.

Email has a simple solution, IMAP. Everything is automatically
synchronized and get on my mail server.

Contacts and calendar are the next issue. I've been using Evolution for
a long time on my laptop and desktops. I don't mind moving to another
PIM that is available and well maintained in one of the many Maemo apt
repositories available, but I would like to use something that also has
a server based backend like IMAP, but still accessible locally when
offline. Any recommendations?
