  # Efficiency. The history based diff engine is orders of magnitude  
more efficient than using Z-Push's file based diff backend.
  # Unless using Zarafa, Z-Push contained no message-specific logic.  
For example, no code for dealing with appointment related issues such  
as timezones, recurrence series etc. Horde_ActiveSync contains support  
for these things out of the box.
  # At least at the time of writing, Horde allowed better  
configuration of things such as heartbeat/timeout intervals. We also  
actually allow configuring available security policies. Z-Push had  
basic support for provisioning and for turning on or off the  
requirement for a device PIN - but contained no facility for  
configuring any of the other options.  Also, if using Horde_ActiveSync  
as part of a typical Horde install you get all the ease of  
configuration that our administration interface provides. I think some  
of this has improved as part of implementing more recent EAS versions  
in Z-Push.
  # I don't have hard data on device compatibility as it compares to  
Z-Push, but I do know that we have fixed some device specific issues  
in the past that - at least at the time - were not working with  
Z-Push. Certain Nokia devices come to mind that use !MfE. Z-Push lists  
these as "unknown" compatibility but they work, at least for  
contacts/calendar with Horde.
-# Horde_ActiveSync doesn't currently support email sync - where it is  
possible, albeit inefficient, to sync email using Z-Push.
+# Email sync with Horde_ActiveSync uses the vastly more efficient  
Horde_Imap_Client library, Z-Push uses the c-client PHP extension.
  # Horde_ActiveSync currently only supports up to Exchange 2003sp1 -  
Z-Push has code in development that works to some extent with 2007 and  
plans to look at supporting up to 2010.
  # Horde_ActiveSync supports multiple users per device - when the  
device supports it. AFAIK, Z-Push only supports a single user account  
per device.
