Well, it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong - especially as I was syncing before I got the logging sorted.  I agree that it's device to server - see below.  Apologies for the noise.

Long story and rather boring.  Short version, Funambol wouldn't store the contacts in the same format I had them in Turba (+1-347-xxx-xxxx vs. +1347xxxxxxx) and that meant that if I let Funambol synch them, I ended up with duplicates in Turba.  And I didn't see why Turba should fix Funambol's problem.

Stepping back for a moment - before I loaded the contacts from the SD card, I created a test contact on the phone.  That one never got to the server even though it was the only one on the phone.  However, a test contact created in Horde was also not sent to the device.  Given how quickly Kronolith sent the event, I'm surprised/confused/baffled.

I think there shouldn't be an issue with the date because that data was imported from Horde (unless Horde isn't exporting it correctly - which I doubt).  But realistically, the bigger problem I have have/had is that contacts aren't synching in either direction.

If they had just synched from Horde to the device then I wouldn't have an issue..

Since I've never seen a synch attempt from Horde to the device, I can only assume that during a sync it asks the Device if it has anything new first.  Accordingly I deleted the account - all contacts are now gone.

I recreate the account and all I have in the logs is:

Now I have nothing in the calendar or the address book :)

Turba says I only have Address book of Simon B and sure enough that's the one the Turba preferences say to sync.

Thanks!  I'll set it to forced and see what gives.  Are these rules as whether the waitinterval can be?  I.e.  Not longer than the heatbeat, I assume..?
