A Linux Notes App?

Lotus Organizer and, subsequently Outlook, are what I have been using in Windows for years. The most important feature being a Notes app that can also sync with my smartphone. Not to mention MS OneNote............... :)


Currently, I run ZorinOS 7 32-bit and I have Thunderbird 17.0.6 installed. I tried Evolution but it kept crashing.


I have a Gmail account containing Notes from my former, speedily truncated life in the Apple orchard.


I also have my own private domain hosted with Afrihost and my mail account there also has a Horde-based webmail function. If I could do the same on a Linux desktop client, it'd be great.


I now want to use those Notes in Linux, be it through Thunderbird of an extra application. I would also love to sync it with my Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean phone.


For now, sync is via my mobile internet but, in future, I want o be synchronizing via ownCloud.


Is there any client application that can do all of this?

Hi,

I don't do any of that stuff, if Evolution is crashing, try running this terminal (Ctrl + Alt + t) command and see if it fixes that problem:

Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f


Restart after updating!.

Hi Wolfman!

Thanks.....I am updating now after it had taken me all day to find a suitable wifi hotspot where I can use my 10GB bundle on this. Your advice came at the right time and thanks for moving my post to the right spot. :D
