Today I discovered that it is impossible to access shared calendars or  
address books using EAS. Apparently EAS doesn't do permissions - so it  
doesn't expose shared calendars or address books. I use the  
alternately the Horde native interface and Thunderbird to access Horde  
as a back-end (using TBSync). For the reason above I can only access  
the user's own calendar(s) or address book(s) - and not others which  
they have been given access to. This would be a limitation for all  
other ActiveSyns/EAS clients - such as mobile phone clients or other  
calendaring software connecting to Horde.

So that seems to me like a significant limitation. As far as I  
understand, EWS implements permissions, so software using it can  
expose shared calendars and address books.
