Thanks for all your efforts! I am also intrigued by the thought of obtaining Kontact support, so it would be interesting looking into a OpenSync plugin. However, one thing that got me wondering, it seems like everybody is occupied with the server side of activesync (to enable syncing between their phone and linux-box), but I am actually more interested in the client side. Excuse my incompetence on this issue if my question is stupid, but can SyncCE be used for client side synchronisation with and Exchange server using activesync? Apart from enabling linux-mobiles to sync with exchange servers (e.g. Android, openmoko, maemo, etc), it can actually be very interesting to use the protocol to sync against linux-clients on PC’s. Corporate solutions often open activesync to the internet while pop and imap (and even owa) are closed, so it would actually provide a way to sync from your linux-PC at home.

Any thoughts on the subject is highly appreciated.

it is not completely clear to me what exactly the problem is you are experiencing. With regards to KDE4 stuff, I am not sure, but I think that at the moment it is not possible to sync with Kontact of KDE4 versions, because the OpenSync plugin for this is not available.

You are talking about your device not being detected by multisync. Have you tried to see whether the connection to the device actually works with running the command

synce-pls

in a terminal? Which guide/instructions have you followed to get everything up and running?

Kind regards,

When I do a lsusb my device is listed. I can run MultiSync, but it will not detect my device.

I think mobile phone syncing should be included in Kubuntu as default and hope you will help puching for it. It is really valuable and will help introducing Linux into more business environments.

I really appreciate the work you are doing and hope you will push on for tighter integration with the KDE4 tools.
