How did you get Erminig to use the Mail for Exchange calendar? I thought it only showed you "Local" calendars, and the MfE one is a "synchronised" one?

It's a potential enhancement/bug fix to Erminig I guess.

What I did - and please update the wiki if this works for you:
  1. Delete the Mail for Exchange account. Nuevasync won't work anymore and I wasn't using MfE for anything other than calendar.
  2. Create a local calendar for each Google Calendar I wanted to synchronise. I didn't try to synchronise either the "Weather" or "Facebook events" calendars. I also emptied the Personal calendar which you cannot delete and synchronised that to my Personal Google calendar.
  3. Start Erminig and create a sync profile from Google to each calendar.
  4. Press the "sync all" button.
  5. Configure alarmed to run /usr/bin/erminig -a 2>/dev/null 1>&1 every hour.

I manually deleted all the duplicate and triplicate entry at my google calendar, and after that I found that nuevasync did not synchronize any longer.
Well, Nuevasync is now a pay-only service, so unless you've paid it won't work. They should've sent you an email about this.

I think promotion to Extras-testing should come with appropriate warnings of 1) to back up all local and remote calendars and 2) to start with empty calendars in the N900.
Fine warnings for any sync tool, and - to be frank - common sense if you value the data at either end :-)
