Hello,Thanks for that. What I meant by having to use ActiveSync was for a single interface. Plus if our users have to pay for a CalDAV client AND an email client (android and blackberry) they wouldn't like it. That is why I was looking for a single user interface if possible.

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.

Everything looks to be good with the above CalDAV so I will try it. However I wish I could get to the bottom of the email issues using Bo Simmons modified z-push ActiveSync addon on android. Apple devices work fine on the inbox only, no sub folders. I have tried emailing him to no avail. On the built in exchange client it will pull my inbox just fine, no sub folders though. When I send an email from the phone it garbles the body like this:
> -�fzI��'�� ��b��݊ج��i�^���AH==
Also when I send an email like that it won't show the body of the message in the web interface of SOGo but will in thunderbird. And the Touchdown client keeps not pulling all the messages but is able to send email. I would rather be able to use the built in client so users won't have to purchase another piece of software that in the end drains the battery faster than normal.
Any insight on that? Does anyone have mobile email working on android using an ActiveSync style connection?
