Now there's this irritating rumor that deleting contacts from the N900 will also delete them from your roaster if they contain chat/IM-details.

how's your experience with this?

if you are using "refresh-from-client" mode this would be the expected behaviour. This mode means:
1. Delete all contacts from server
2. Put all contacts available on client (N900) to the server

I never noticed a deletion of a local (N900) contact.

What is the source for the "rumor"?

is 'refresh-from-client' safe to use even if the contacts contain IM info? or do you keep your IM details separate from the contacts you sync?

I merged all kind of IM/SIP data into my contacts (Jabber, Googletalk, Skype, Facebook, SIP). I don't use separate contacts for IM.

In my sync world the N900 is the Master for contacts. All the other clients (Evolution in Ubuntu and Thunderbird in Windows) are only get a copy of each contact on my N900.

Ciao jukey
