Great idea!

        HOME=/home/jtr
        LOGNAME=jtr
        PATH=/usr/bin:/bin
        LANG=en_US.UTF-8
        SHELL=/bin/sh
        PWD=/home/jtr
        [INFO] todo: inactive
        [INFO] calendar+todo: inactive
        [INFO] memo: inactive
        Enter password for memotoo: [ERROR] error code from SyncEvolution fatal error (local, status 10500): could not read password for memotoo
        
        Synchronization failed, see /home/jtr/.cache/syncevolution/memotoo-2012-01-12-15-19/syncevolution-log.html for details.
