I was hoping we could talk about putting in safeguards against these kinds
of issues. Although it may be too much work to offer any kind of guarantee
to end users, some simple warnings might help reduce the rate of disaster.
thanks.

I think it would be a good idea to implement safeguards. In fact, I have a patch I wrote some time ago that limits BitPim to send only the next hundred or so relevant (not expired) calendar entries. I just haven't got around to submitting it for comments.

that would be great. since i have all my calendars synced across
google/plaxo etc., it gives me way too much stuff, like local events and all
the recurrances of recurring events.

We have them in place for those known limitations. Things like file sizes or filesystems spaces are neither documented nor defined anywhere.

expired) calendar entries.

For LG phones, the limit is in place (default to 300 max), but never enforced. The fix will be in the next test release.
