Nokia's N900 [0] with the latest Maemo 1.3 release fails to sync with  
the Horde ActiveSync implementation. The N900 doesn't send the "User"  
parameter in the request URL which is a required parameter in Horde  
ActiveSync. The open-xchange team had the same bug report with their  
implementation [1].

Before I also used the N900 with Z-Push 1.5.1 and the IMAP-Backend and  
there it worked with syncing mails.

Pleas tell me, if I can provide you more information to solve the problem.

Quote from open-xchange forum:
"we fixed the reported issue with 6.16 which will be released very  
soon. The problem was, that the N900 client does not send any  
authentication data as a request parameter but only as auth-basic  
information. This is not usual for ActiveSync clients. In order to  
maintain compatibility, we've changed the handling to support such  
kinds of authentication."
