There are plugins available for JPilot which may allow you to integrate it
better with Evolution, like pilot-mailsync:

I can't see anywhere in JPilot that allows you to set the directory where it
stores your data, though. I followed this tutorial initially if this is any
help:

http://www.linuxpda.com/visor/howto/current/syncsoftware.html

obviously it's aimed at the Visor, but the basics still apply, esp the
command-line actions which establish where the Palm data will be stored.

HTH.

This is *very* bad, because Bush and his pals are not seeing one dime of that.
