use horde webmail newest version connected to dovecot, it has a full featured syncml server for calender , tasks, addresses

Heh, I am looking for email syncing over syncml, I already have syncing of those things working with eGroupWare. All I need is email syncing working now.

what do you miss with imap ?

i recently tested courier, cyrus and dovecot with horde syncml

if you use i.e cyrus with all features i cant think what you might miss its full platform and os compatibel and has nearly 95 % features of paid setups like exchange outlook i dont tested egroupware but last time i looked on it it seemed to be a very nice solution ( depends on what you need )

there isnt really a need for pushmail in my mind since imap idle is there

pushmail makes only lot of unneeded traffic which makes providers happy for paying it,

but i see no tec reason to have it ,cause imap idle makes the same results very much cheaper and its a open well tested standart so why use other stuff fuer syncing mail ?

By the way ,gmx ,sells imap idle as pushmail *g and your question isnt really related to dovecot

I use Funambol to push email to clients, I'm using courier at the moment (that's going to change here in a few), but using it on dovecot shouldn't matter. I ran into the time problem too, and found that I had to set the client's timezone preference and set it to force a conversion within the admin package.

Interesting, was that on 7.x or previous, I experienced the tz problem on 6.5 and there was a lot of discussion on the funambol list about this issue, it was determined to be a problem with the conversion from ical to vcal (and also different versions of ical) by the server. After about 8 months of that I went to eGroupWare and haven't looked back as it offers more functionality and it's syncml just works, but it doesn't seem to have support for email, so I reinstalled funambol yesterday, but that brought up another problem. I am using a windows mobile device that I want to do pushed email syncing with.
Because of numerous problems with the Funambol Windows Mobile client, I ended up buying the Synthesis SyncML Pro client, however it comes up with a 10415 error on sync, which according to google means it doesn't support the same email data type so no go there.

The connection works fine as I can see the traffic in the funambol logs and the connection to the dovecot server on the same machine, so I'll probably give a funambol client another try to see what happens, but having to use 2 different clients on the same pda phone to stay synced kinda sucks.

My temporary goal is to use it to push email to a Nokia E61i since my provider no longer offers BlackBerry Connect and then go back to a new Windows Mobile Smartphone I have on order (O2 XDA Flame)

Which reminds me, is it possible to use sieve in the mix so that I can control what messages get forwarded to the phone rather than the whole kit and kaboodle, so mail comes into dovecot, runs through sieve and the stuff that the sieve rules allow, gets forwarded to the phone by funambol?
