+In order for the Autodiscovery service to work, you should also create an alias/rewrite rule for the URL /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml to horde/rpc.php as well:
+
+<code>
+Alias /autodiscover/autodiscover.xml /var/www/horde/rpc.php
+</code>


 For lighttpd:

 <code>
-alias.url = ("/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" => "/var/www/horde/rpc.php");
+alias.url = ("/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" => "/var/www/horde/rpc.php",
+             "/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml" => /var/www/horde/rpc.php");

 ++ Application Configuration
No additional steps are normally necessary for synchronization of the supported applications. However, each application that supports synchronization also has a user preference to determine which shares will be synchronized. For example, in Kronolith the user's default calendar is *always* synchronized, but the user can choose to add any additional calendars he/she owns. Whenever the user changes one of these settings, the device is always automatically re-paired with the server to pick up the change.

Since !ActiveSync does not support the //deleted// flag, messages in a mailbox with this flag are ignored when syncing. Deleting a message on the device will do one of two things; If the user has enabled a Trash mailbox then the message will be moved to that mailbox. Otherwise, the message is immediately expunged. This is in accordance with the !ActiveSync protocol specs.

Forwarding a message will always attempt to put the main message text body in-line and keep any original attachments. It seems that a number of devices cannot view message/rfc822 attachments, so any messages that have been forwarded as an attachment may not be viewable in the !ActiveSync mail client.

+++ Autodiscovery
+
+Some devices attempt to use Exchange's Autodiscovery service to make it easier for both the user to setup the account and for the administrator to make drastic changes like moving the server to a new URL. Horde attempts to support this as best it can. For this to work, you must create the URL alias as described above, and Horde must be able to figure out the Horde username based on the email address the user provided to the device. The configuration screen provides multiple options for this. In the worst case, if Horde cannot authenticate based on the provided information from the Autodiscover request, the device will fall back to requiring manual configuration.

 ++ !ActiveSync Versions

Horde 5 adds support for !ActiveSync version 12.0 - the version shipped with Exchange Server 2007. This adds HTML email support, flag or followup, more atomic policy settings, additional search sources, local wipe rules, and WBXML based provisioning (instead of the XML used in 2.5). There are a few things to mention regarding 12.0 support:
