[horde] ActiveSync not syncing all calendar entries on Android 4.0

[Andreas Harrer]

Thank you for your Help and Information.
I thought that minimum the events should be synced, which are in the future (from now), but created before the sync partnership was startet (event creation before initial sync). The settings not to sync past events are familiar for me from the Windows Mobile 5,6,6.5 times and make sense, of course.
The difference is just that these were past (creation and Event itself).

If an event is older than this date, it is not included in the initial sync.  (Good to know, was not obvious for me, I think I missed something here; completely ok)
If an event is created before the initial sync, but its date is in the future, I would expect it to be included in the initial sync. (Is that right?)

So I'm going to test around with this informations.

Thank you very much,

Andreas

This is client controlled. Some offer the ability to set how far back  
to look for events to include when synching. Others seem to use a hard  
limit. You should check your client's synchronization settings. If an  
event is older than this date, it is not included in the initial sync.  
Due to the way we detect changes currently, updating an older event  
will currently cause it to be seen as more recent by the diff engine.  
This will eventually be addressed, probably in Horde 5.2 (or 6.0) when  
the SOFTDELETE command is finally implemented.
