Unfortunately it fails to function for my device.
I have tried, failed, and googling again; then find that my Windows Mobile 6 device is currently not work with multisync in ubuntu.
Considering that the progress of developing software in open source model is fast, I believe someday I can use this kind of software to synchronize windows mobile and ubuntu/linux. But, for now, I give up.
Read this web page for detail information:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/WindowsMobile
I copied and pasted the important information from that web page here:
Users of Windows Mobile 5, Windows Mobile 2003 and PocketPC can sync email, contacts, calender appointments with Evolution.
Ubuntu does not yet work with Windows Mobile 6 currently.
Until that support comes, there are two possible solutions:
* Using Windows Mobile 6's USB storage mode
* Using a storage device that your computer can also read, such an an SD card
The program WM5torage (freely available) can be installed on your WM6 device, and upon connection with a computer your memory card is then mounted as a removable drive. It is also possible to sync your WM6 calendar with an online calendar system, such as google calendar. The program OggSync does this for free, if you only have one category in your calendar. For syncing of more categories, you will have to buy the Pro version.
So I used another solution meant by the article, use WM5torage.
This program should be installed on your Windows Mobile device, and only support Windows Mobile 5 or later. Download from here: http://www.modaco.com/content/smartphone-software-freeware-download-discussion/238545/wm5torage
After downloading and installing WM5torage, I can access the Windows Mobile 6 device's memory card as another mass storage device (flashdisk, mmc card, etc.)
Need to run the program and activate it first.
As you see in the picture below, my Windows Mobile device's memory card can be read. Because WM5torage simply add the functionality of my Windows Mobile device as a storage device, it also can be used by any operating system. Not just for Ubuntu or Linux.
When finish using the storage, you can unmount, and then deactivate from your windows mobile device.
