I may have been unclear, but pilot-link works fine, and I assume jpilot
will too, once I configure it.  My problem is that IIUC, syncing the
data for specific apps requires conduits designed for the apps'
specific database formats, and I know of no conduit currently in Debian
that will handle mail (either Versamail, or the OSS GnuGotMail would be
fine).  Does kpilot contain a mail conduit?  I don't use KDE, but a
solid mail conduit might be a sufficient reason to install it.  I'd
think, however, that if it does contain a mail conduit, I should be
able to use it without the entire KDE framework.
