That should be the case for any shared groupware folder. The folder
has to be accessible to both users and once User A finished editing,
User B needs to synchronize ("Check Mail") and should get the new or

Yes, currently you will always have to synchronize to see new mail or
new groupware objects like addresses, notes, events and so on.
