syncml

[Stephan Buys]

Hi,

Answers below, but here is the link: http://www.horde.org/sync/

With Horde you have the following components:

The datastore (Kolab/IMAP, MySQL, etc), Drivers to Access the store,
Middleware, Presentation. 

Basically SyncML is implemented as a "presentation" layer on top of the Horde
applications framework.

If I read the site correctly then the Kolab Web Client, aka Horde, might already
have some preliminary SyncML support.

Horde is server-side.

This is not what I am talking about...

Ala, Horde, Apache.

Please refer to the link above.

As Martin mentions, the Daemon is not data-aware so this would be the wrong
approach.

PHP (in the case of Horde)
