EPIM in Linux Mint

MacLinDroid · Post by **MacLinDroid** » Wed Apr 16, 2014 9:00 pm

I am running Linux Mint 15 Cinnamon [Olivia] 32-BIT and the latest Wine. I have installed my beloved EssentialPIM but it does not connect to the Internet and cannot therefore retrieve emails. Also, it does not see my computer's USB ports.

Has anyone managed to get this to work in Linux?

Why are we using Linux and why do we need local sync? Here is the answer to that: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=14990

I live in a developed country and my city is one of the best global destinations for both tourism and business. Even though coverage maps show that we have LTE or at least 3.5G, do not believe that. Having broadband functionality is sometimes a real challenge. We need EPIM and we need it on Linux.

I really do hope that someone can guide me in how to sync my Android phone with my Linux laptop.

Hi,

I could help you if give a little bit more information. EssentialPIM can not connect to the Internet, but you have the connection to the Internet? If yes, please show an error which EPIM gives. If not, how EPIM can retrieve emails?

My internet connection is active and working fine.

Also, I cannot get EPIM to "see" my USB-thethered Android phone on my Linux machine. It is Android 4.1.1 on Huawei Y300 Ascend
