z-push and N900 Mail for Exchange

[Alexander Schröter]

I am wondering what I should do about my sync situation

I so far used SyncML Clients like synckolab and the native kgroupware
stuff to sync my kolab server with different clients but today my N900
finally arrived and i was wondering how I should integrate it into my
system. I know there is syncevolution which should do the trick but than
I read on the mailinglist about z-push and as far as i understand z-push
acts like an exchange server so every client that can connect to an
exchange server can use kolab. Correct? What do you suggest get
kolab-zpush up and running or use syncevolution?

So whatever I decide for I was wondering if one of you can create a
how-to on how to setup z-push for kolab.

I would really like like some feedback on the whole sync situation ... I
would like to help where I can.

Thanks Alexander
