I think compatibility would be great.

But please note that the Z-Push backend currently relies on the Kolab format 
interpretation in the Horde 3 framework, which is Kolab 2 only.

Syncroton is based upon the libkolab / libkolabxml work that supports the new 
storage format for Kolab 3.0 as well as the old Kolab 2.0 format, which is 
also used by the Roundcube web frontend now - so there is no more need for the 
Horde 3 framework, which won't be part of Kolab 3.0.

Instead the remaining functions the framework delivered, e.g. free/busy or 
resource handling, are now reimplemented as standalone components on top of 
libkolab / libkolabxml themselves.

So compatibility would have to be sought by modifying the Z-Push backend to 
make use of the same libkolab / libkolabxml bindings and perhaps some of the 
Roundcube IMAP handling libraries & frameworks (which I know you wanted to use 
anyhow because they are much faster than those in Horde).

Since Alec is one of the principal Roundcube developers, I am sure he can 
point you in the right direction for this and will be happy to work with you 
to ensure that the backends can share as much work as possible.

Best regards,
Georg
