Thats what the "Syncing your device" section will be for, although I would to avoid duplicating their documentation if possible. We would cover SynCE specific parts perhaps, or provide a sample configuration with links to the relevant opensync documentation.

AFAIK, we don't synchronise mail. IMO, by far the best option is to look at IMAP. You could probably download mail by IMAP through your PC's internet connection. Gmail now provides IMAP... Of course, IMAP email is so outside of our scope that its in your user manual! Syncing your contacts and calendar can only be done by opensync and its assorted GUIs and would be covered by the "Syncing your device" section. I am aware of z-push, Funambol and ScheduleWorld, but they don't touch any of our stack and we don't know anything about how they work so cannot really justify spending what little time we have trying to support them... z-push is probably the most interesting, but written in PHP (iirc, others require installing crap on your device). > Maybe the different sync tools would be mentioned under "Syncing your device"?

We need someone to step forward for RedHat/Fedora.
