looking around for synchronization tools

Mon Dec 6 19:03:00 CET 2010

Remi,

Our experience with z-push has been quite different from yours.  We are quite happy with the performance.  We are currently testing z-push beta (1.5) with Kolab 2.2.4.  

Using the GAL - when I create a new email, I start typing the recipient's name and z-push finds it.  I don't have to do searches, as you say.  I also do not understand what you are referring to about a jailbroken iPhone.  Mine is not jailbroken and z-push works fine.  If your calendar sync needs to be reset - you simply go into:

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > (z-push Exchange account) > toggle off "contacts" and then back on, then do the same for calendars.  Once these have been toggled off/on - the calendar sync is reset.

I don't use z-push for email.  It states on the wiki that you should configure your phone's IMAP for email.

The issue you mention about Windows Mobile and self-signed certificates is a shortcoming of WM - not z-push.  

Hope that helps.

hi,
let me give you my feedback about z-push.
I tried it with kolab 2.2.4 (OpenPKG version), z-push1.4 / backend 0.62:
it works quite well with contact and calendar with an iphone. The Ldap gal works but you have to search with email (no results with name or firstname). if your calendar sync breaks you have to "restore" iPhone or need a jailbroken phone, what i do not consider enterprise-class ready.
And concerning mails it worked at the beginning of my tests, then performance decreased a lot to finally not working at all.
On a nokia E65,sync with "Mail For Exchange" works for contacts, calendar and mails have issues (i've several INBOX folders on the phone)
Syncing a Windows mobile (6.5) is quasi-impossible if you have a self-singed certificate.
In my tests, after an ugrade to 0.72 (z-push 1.5 beta2) nothing no longer works (for instance ldap gal search returns NO NAME).

i apologise to the community for this real bad feedback, i'm not a noobÂ  sysadmin but i have weak competences in web programming. i haven't found enough documentation to make it work and it's a pity.
it's hard to understand how it really works, how to reinitialize a sync. Is it a cache problem? where is the cache (z-push cache, kolab driver cache??)
Regards.

Hello
There are zpush backend for kolab who works very well, you must have koab installed on a server
See wiki.kolab.org
