Z-Push/OPush/Synchotron are all using patented technologies without a license and Microsoft currently does not license to GPL implementations - so using these is not an option. Don't forget that software patents are invalid in big parts of the world, so these technologies are not infringing anything there. Since the addition of Active Sync support in SOGo would be a server-side implementation, there would be a per-mailbox fee to use it. That fee, would have to be paid to Microsoft directly. On our end, everything would be free of use. Again, that fee would only apply where software patents are valid, which is great news for European users like me :-) I would advise anyone who is going to professionally run an ActiveSync service to not just think software patents are invalid in Europe and at least ask for legal advice. The situation is unfortunately a lot more complex than software being patentable or not. In Europe software as such is not patentable and what as such exactly means isn't really clear. The EPO interpretation is very narrow and the EPO has granted a lot of software patents. Which does not mean that these patents would hold in court. But I agree: defending oneself could be prohibitively expensive, and hasardeous. I'm not following all the things going on in software patent world anymore, but as far as I remeber a UK court did invalidate a patent because it was on software as such. On the other hand a Dutch court enforced a software patent from Apple on the photo gallery of some Samsung phones. I don't know if Samsung had tried to get the patent invalidated on the basis that is a patent on software as such, AFAIK, it was not on software «as such», but on the way the user interracts with the interface (which itself is implemented in software), which is a whole different thing. but I think we can't just disregard all microsoft patents on the basis that software patents aren't valid in Europe. Of course not, but software patents and patents on protocols or interfaces are completely out of scope in Europe (despite the EPO granting them). I can't see what in the active sync protocol could be considered patentable in Europe, there is no interraction with «the forces of nature» that I'm aware of. Microsoft could still try to defend it's patents in court, which would be a definitive blow to any European small business, but I really don't think they would risk confirmation of the invalidity of their patents for any small business scale operation. Now of course IANAL, this is only IMHO and all :-) Thanks, -- Rémi -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

In the config it seems like this: https://github.com/dupondje/PHP-Push-2/blob/master/config.inc.php It's not, just activate and use the combined backend. Now, if you manage to make it work reliably, I'm *very* interrested in your configuration :-) I keep having duplicate events, and contacts do not work so I'm using carddav-sync for them.

It is not an TLS issue as I see data in the log files. If the handshake would have fallen, I would see nothing. So the script itself is working. I changed my username and added it to the config.php user array. I created the file /var/log/z-push/croessner.log and gave correct permissions (I think). But nothing is written to the log file. Even in the z-push.log file itself, I can not see any backend activity. As I looked into the backend php files, shouldn't there be any lines concerning smething like Logon-XYZ or so? Can someone help me? What information is required? Hello, to test it without the iphone interferring, can you try with a browser ? https://sogo.mydomain.com/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync Your browser should ask for a login/password, and then show a page with Z-Push - Open Source ActiveSync and the message GET not supported. In my z-push.log, I see my user authenticating to each backend separately, and then Combined-Logon() success Note that I disabled the imap part in the combined backend, so this might make a difference, but anyway testing with a browser might help spot the troublemaker.

Hello, thanks a lot for that, it seems very promising an fills a big hole in sogo's functionnality :-) One remark: sogosync assumes that the username/password used for sogo should be valid on the imap server. But in sogo I can configure other credentials for the imap account, which makes sogosync refuse the sogo credentials since all backends should authenticate. Would it be possible to get the imap credentials from sogo (and let's be bold while asking, including the imap configuration :-), or at least make an imap authentication error non blocking in sogosync ? In this latter case, just don't provide the mail service to the device if imap auth fails. Other than that, I use sogosync from an android cm9 device, and the events do not appear in the calendar.
