OK, applied the patches and tried to sync.

I made the following tests with one contact and one calendar-entry:

1.) Full sync from Horde to MfE 3.0
OK

2.) Changing Text of appointment on server, sync to MfE
OK

3.) Changing Time+Text of appointment on server, sync to MfE
OK

4.) Changing Text of appointment on phone, sync to Server
OK

5.) Changing Time+Text of appointment on phone, sync to Server
OK

6.) Created appointment on Phone, sync to server
OK

7.) Updated text of that event on phone, sync to server
OK

8.) Updated text of that event on server, sync to phone
OK

9.) Updated text on Server using a Umlaut, sync to phone
OK

10.) Updated text on phone using another umlaut, sync to server
OK

11.) Updated contact on phone, sync to server
OK

12.) Updated contact on server, sync to phone
OK

13.) Updated contact on phone using umlaut, sync to server
OK

14.) Updated contact on server using umlaut, sync to phone
OK

15.) Added contact on phone, sync to server
OK

16.) Changed that contact on server, sync to phone
OK

17.) Changed that contact on server and on phone,
OK, Server wins.

18.) Changed to a real user, full resync with 397 contacts and over 2000 
appointments
Contacts OK, no appointment reached the phone, Error message "Failed to 
decode XML document" in MfE-Log on phone.


So I'll try with my test-appointment of my testuser to figure out what 
is bothering the phone.

Lukas
