Back earlier this year I remember someone at inverse saying they were
looking at adding built in support for ActiveSync connections to SOGo.
Currently we are running with a version of z-push modified by a
gentleman, Bo, here on the list but it is only working 90% on iOS
devices. We have tried tinkering with it some to get it compatible
with other devices like Android and AstraSync client for Blackberry
devices but the person who put it together is no longer answering
emails for about a year now.
Basically I am wondering if this is still in the works. Since we are a
state agency we have to have our mobile users connect their devices
only to port 80 or 443 since that is all that is allowed from the
outside. This means we have to use ActiveSync.
No, that is not true, you can very well use caldav and cardav for this,
they also go over http/https.
We use these android clients with very good results
http://dmfs.org/
For iOS we use the native cal/cardav functionality too.
The problems with activesync are:
- The different ActiveSync clients behave differently
- The zPush support is working only partially (Also with other backends)
- Caldav and Cardav are the "native" protocols of Sogo, so all
extensions (zPush, Funambol) add another layer with potentially problems
in it
My recommendation is to use email via activesync (if your fw admin is
braindead that he blocks imap/smtp) and caldav/cardav for everything else.
