jester.
Dietmar, maybe of interest to add:
To Sync eGroupWare trough SyncML with some mobile phones or with the use of the different GPL Funambol clients you will need to install PHP5 as a CGI as described by Daniel from Firewall Services. In eGroupWare you have to turn on the xmlrpc service under: Admin > Site configuration. For syncing the Funambol clients with eGroupWare use the SIF data-format and the following info:
- URL : https://<your-server>/egroupware/rpc.php
- Username : your eGroupWare username
- Password : your eGroupWare password
- Contacts (Addressbook) : ./sifcontacts
- Calendar : ./sifcalendar
- Tasks (InfoLog) : ./siftasks
To install your server certificate on the PDA with Windows Mobile 5:
- Install certificate on Internet Explorer on a workstation as described under 'MS Outlook Synchronization' with eGWOSync item nr.1
- Go to: Tools > Internet Options > 'Content'-tab > 'Certificates...'-button > ‘Trusted Root Certification Authorities’-tab
- Select your previous imported server certificate and click the 'Export'-button
- Export to: DER encoded binary X.509 (.CER)
- Copy the created .CER certificate to your PDA (with ActiveSync, bluetooth, ...)
- On your PDA 'open' the certificate to install it (check success: system > settings-tab > certificates > root-tab)
Funambol clients known to work (because i've tested them):
- Windows Mobile client for PocketPC v6
Two installation bugs I have encountered with the latest SME Server (7.3, or is it 7.4 now?):

Outlook Sync Experience
--Judgej 14:49, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
This is a really important feature for clients. They just want to use Outlook and their Microsoft PDAs, because that is what they are used to.
I tried eGWOSync, but could not find out how to actually get it working. It seems to lack any kind of overview document, ie. to say this is what happens, this is what it looks like, and this is what you need to do in Outlook to actually use it. Perhaps I was missing something, but if I am, then it's not easy to find.
Funambol though - fantastic. It just installs, integrates, and works. I would recommend trying Funambol first.
One thing I need to know though (and I'm going to dig this out from where-ever it is): how are calendars shared? People in an office need to know where each other are, and when they are available.
