that works quite well with a dav-client of your choice. I use davdroid
from the f-droid store without problems so far. Some configuration is
also covered at https://kolabnow.com/clients

I am not a heavy user, but for Android it works quite well and so far
without issues, ymmv.

With Kolab3 there is no need for a connector anymore due to active-sync
support. However, with a Centos7/Kolab3 installation I was not able to
connect that damn outlook via ActiveSync and have no idea yet, what
might be the problem (especially since I use nginx instead of the
default Apache).
