Hello all,
I had a quick look at the horde site and noticed that horde is being advertised as, let's say, "smartphone friendly".
Does anyone know if the newest horde version can "talk" to smart phones in regards to e-mails ?
In other words, can a user owning a smartphone get his/her e-mails on it apart from the webpage ?
Thank you,
spyros

a little off-topic at all, but however
horde/imp is a webmail and accessing the mailserver via IMAP smart-phone freindly means it can be used on smartphones without scrolling to dead
horde is not for having a layer between mail-client on the smartphone and the server - this makes pretty no sense
each smartphone these days has a mail-client like K9 on android and can access imap/exchange directly - why should horde be involved here als additional layer?

Many reasons for this, I personally use it for contact and calender
sync, and the new version of horde that is still in beta, can also be
used for email sync too. This will simplify setup for many people,
using autodiscovery feature of activesync.

why does one need this with IMAP as mail-backend? sounds more like "having solution and searching fro problem"

Also see Sogo (and owncloud). Plus the Sogosync connector
This is a developing area (at last)
