In order to avoid introducing too many flags, we could put this  into the same 
variable by making the binary "yes/no" synchronisation a bit mask.

In result, it would look like this:

        /vendor/kolab/activesync

defaults to a value of 1, if not set, or will be parsed as a string of the 
format:

                <BITMAP>[;<SERIAL NO>:<BITMAP>[;<SERIAL NO>:<BITMAP>[...]]]

        with <SERIAL NO> = serial number of the phone
        and <BITMAP> =
           bit 0: synchronise: <yes|no>
           bit 1: fold into flat hierarchy: <yes|no>
           bit 2: make this the target for new items from the phone: <yes|no>

where sanity checking of bit 2 would be the responsibility of the 
administrative interface, you would simply look for the first folder you find 
with this flag set and put new items of that category into them.

This should allow for any possible use case anyone might ever want, I think.

That is the big question, and the one that was really the one posed to the 
list in the initial email - unfortunately we got sidetracked.

We know it should, and I believe Bernhard Herzog has pointed out how it is 
supposed to work with the current cyrus, but we still need to define that 
annotation and then test whether it works as well in practice as theory 
suggests.

Any help on that would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,
Georg
