Right, ActiveSync is usable only for Outlook 2013.
However there is another reason to have SyncML/CalDav/CardDav
alternative for proprietary ActiveSync protocol even for Outlook 2013
- potential patent and legal issues. ActiveSync itself is patented by
Microsoft and it can decide to charge it's users or do other things
which can make life with ActiveSync more unpleasant. Even SOGo
documentation
(https://github.com/inverse-inc/sogo/tree/master/ActiveSync)
recommends to contact Microsoft before you start using ActiveSync. So
companies might end with large deployment of Outlooks using ActiveSync
and then Microsoft simply changes their licensing and you will have to
pay - as happened to various Android vendors...
Excellent point, I had forgotten about that...
