Can't be done, at least not yet. In a bizarre departure from the usual 
cross-platform model, the Mozilla palm-sync extension only works in 
Windows and it works through the Palm Desktop that comes with Palm 
Pilots. This means that should anyone ever attempt to get palm sync 
working in Linux (and possibly Macs) they're going to have to 
essentially start from scratch.

To my knowledge, the best palm-syncing in Linux is courtesy of KDE via 
kpilot which syncs to korganizer for calendar and todos and to 
kaddressbook for the addressbook. There is some support for mail but 
I've never been able to get it working.
