Kown Issue: 

the Mail part is not tested yet because we use IMAP instead activesync for the mail , but the code is the code of the Imap backend. We saw some problems with it on the Iphone 
Task are not implemented yet

Calendar : 
-must fix the timeZone it is coded in hard for the moment
-must be find the mail off the user 
-problem with appointment who are full day and on more one day (on iphone)
-request meeting not implemented

Contacts :
-the contact's picture is not synchronized
-some supplementary fields are not synchronized like spouse, birthday ....




TODO :
fix the timezone 
fix the address mail 
implement more one kolab server ( ask to ldap who is the right server to open the imap connexion)
find a solution for the meeting request and accept or reject 
sync more than one folder (list per user)
more tracability

hi 
you can find an alpha version (0.1) of the kolab backend for z-push at support.libertech.fr in the download
section with an installation note.

for the moment : 
-Calendar work on iphone and mobilePC (tested on HTC) 

-Contacts work on iphone an mobilePC 

-task not yet implemented 

be carefull read the note (the known issue, and todo list  ) , not for a production use  :-)

Alexander, Ulrich,

thanks for the reports and feedback we appreciate it.
Yes, calender sync should be working (though you might need to trigger two syncs sometimes). If it does not, opening a problem report with the tracker is very good, if you can provide detailed information.

We face the problem that we do not have all the models of hardware and software available and testing many combinations is costly.
<advertisment>If you have funding for this, Kolab-Konsortium will be happy to buy your device, test and fix support for it, if possible.
