  The ActiveSync protocol provides over the air synchronization of  
contacts, calendar, task, notes, and email to devices supporting  
Exchange ActiveSync such as the iOS, Android, and Windows Mobile.

  +++ WebDAV (iCalendar/ICS)/!GroupDAV/CalDAV/CardDAV

-Horde has [http://www.webdav.org/ WebDAV], CalDAV and CardDAV  
interfaces that can be accessed by external clients like  
**[http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/thunderbird/ Thunderbird]**,  
**[http://www.kontact.org/ Kontact]**, or  
**[http://www.apple.com/ical/ Apple iCal]** or mobile devices like iOS  
or Android phones. The latter are standards which allow more complex  
access to groupware data and scale better than plain WebDAV. Support  
for [http://www.groupdav.org/ GroupDAV] doesn't exist yet, because  
this protocol has never grown popular.

Android you will need third party apps like (Examples known to work  
for CalDAV and also WebDav =>

CalendarSync] and for CardDAV =>  
[https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vcard.android  
ContactSync]) while iOS/Windows Phone with GDR2 supports it out of the  
box.  Support for [http://www.groupdav.org/ GroupDAV] doesn't exist  
yet, because this protocol has never grown popular.

  +++ XML-RPC

  Several generic RPC interfaces exist in Horde, at the time of this  
writing XML-RPC, SOAP, and JSON. These can be used to access the  
external API of Horde and its applications and are rather targeted at  
developers. But there exists a ((PhpgwHowTo|wrapper around the XML-RPC  
interface)) that is compatible to the RPC interface of  
**[http://www.phpgroupware.org/  
phpGroupWare]/[http://www.egroupware.org/ eGroupWare]**. At least one  
client **(Kontact)** supports this interface. It hasn't been tested  
much though.
