[Kolab-devel] Kolab connector for Mac OS

[Tyrell Berry]

OK, I have downloaded the aforementioned Synthesis SyncML to my iphone, and
have tried it with maybe half a dozen online, hosted server services.   Of
the services tried, they all had predefined labels and fields, and I was
therefore unable to test if the app it's self sends the custom labels.

I know that the functionality is supported by the SyncML format, but I guess
the question has been, and continues to be, if there are any apps that
support the custom labels.

Also, does the SyncML support in Horde currently support custom lables?  If
not, the functionality being built into an iPhone app wouldn't actually
benifit anyone yet.

As I said earlier, I am hoping to try this out over the weekend with
Kolab.   But if it fails, it would be good to know what the limitations of
the server are, so that identifying the weakest link is possible.
