hi sebastian, essentially what's happening here is that apple's sdk has no api connections to calender/tasks/notes/etc -- only contacts. so without jailbreaking the iphone, the only way to sync without wires is MobileME or exchange. my users a hyper paranoid, so MobileME isn't possible, and installing m$ exchange is also not a solution. only other way is to jailbreak the iphone and install the latest/uncertified funambol connector and then you can sync wirelessly. i was wondering if anyone had come up with an exchange proxy of sorts, allowing us to specify cyrus for mail, funambol or ldap for contacts/calenders/etc. this way we could use the native certified exchange connector in the phone to sync. cheers charles -- "simplified chinese" is not nearly as easy as they would have you believe ... a superlative oxymoron --anonymous ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
