yes, any modification made to a contact of the Corporate Sync account  
will be replicated to the horde contacts, provided you edit "syncable"  
fields". There are good instructions out on the web (which I can't  
find right now) how to make multiple email adresses work with turba  
(which do sync flawlessly); so far I'm able to sync up to two mobile  
phone numbers, provided I use the fields "mobile phone" and "car  
phone" on the mobile, mapping the attribute "carPhone" on the mobile  
to a turba field (can't remember which one).
