Now, I must admit, not all the small things are synced over some contacts details, like birthday and anniversary date get omitted (though not deleted) during the sync process. The beauty of this setup is it's all connected to Thunderbird, which has been ported to pretty well all major OSes out there, so anyone can do this. If you're like me and want to keep email checking throughout the day, but don't want to have Thunderbird taking up taskbar space, I recommend the Minimize to Tray addon.

Setup at this point is self-explanatory, though I recommend setting contact reload time ("Advanced" tab) to something low like 0.25 hours (aka 15 minutes). Open up the addon panel and open up Google Contacts options.

As for syncing the contacts from your Gmail, download and install the Google Contacts addon.

Some public calendars, like weather forecast, obviously won't work correctly. Their iCal links can be found by going to the Google Calendar page, and on each publicly subscribed calendar, go into "Calendar settings" and next to "Calendar Address" should be the iCal link you can use in Thunderbird.

If you have any publicly subscribed Google calendars, you can add them to Thunderbird by their iCal links.

Note: Repeat instructions to add each of your editable Google calendars. Now, follow these instructions on setting up CalDAV with your Google Calendar (follow Mozilla Sunbird instructions):

Go to the Calendar view (should be a big "Calendar" button in the bottom left corner).

Restart Thunderbird as requested by the addon manager.

Download and install the Lightning calendar addon for Thunderbird.

Also, under "Server Settings", I recommend setting it check for mail every 10 minutes (or whatever your preference). When initially adding a new account, choose "Email account", not "Gmail".

Follow the instructions on how to setup Thunderbird for IMAP Gmail:.

Prerequisites: Mozilla Thunderbird 2, Google account with Gmail and Google Calendar, and a WebOS device (with that Google account integrated).

Thankfully, Jhoff80 on the forums has found a free solution involving Mozilla's much-loved Thunderbird email client. While CompanionLink does have their syncing software and Mark/Space will soon have theirs, they're not free and I'm cheap. To many, the old PalmOS hotsync was vital system, allowing both backup of PIM data and the ability to locally view and edit that data, getting updated on the device next hotsync. For a long time now, it's been known that when you switch to the Pre, you won't have any sort of local syncing options.
