Notes will not work, as there is no support for it in Horde, nor the  
version of EAS that Horde currently supports. Tasks, however, should  
work to some extent if your client supports them. I'm not familiar  
enough with your device to know if it does or does not.

That is probably added by the client automatically. Mail is not  
supported at all with Horde's implementation of EAS.

There has been some interest in this on the mailing lists. This is  
unlikely to happen, however, unless someone either is willing to  
sponsor the (not insignificant) development costs, or provides patches.

Yes. This provides not only a more efficient solution, but also a much  
better feature set then the version of EAS we currently support can  
provide.
