I've tried to get addressbook sync working for me for a very long time,
playing with SyncCe, OpenSync, syncing in Evolution and hooking Claws
Mail up to that, and various other methods - with very little success
over the years. When I got my android phone, I was really impressed how
well Google-based sync worked out-of-the-box - so I hooked Claws
Mail up to my Google addressbook using the GData plugin. It's not a
sync, it just makes the addressboook available in the
address-completion (and thus in functionality based on the address
completion as well, e.g. addressbook-based filtering), but I'm happier
now than ever before.

Of course, if you try to stay away from a Google-based solution, this
if probably no option for you.
