Maybe of relevance...

I could sync in general if I set ActiveSync to Version 2.5 in the  
Horde settings.
Here I got the behaviour that the iPhone app crashes when I want to  
open the GMX folder.

I fixed this by desabling and enabling the mail account.

So I did a little testing and switched ActtiveSync to version 12.1 as  
recommended - I was not able to sync on the iPhone5 (IOS 6.1.2)  
anymore, even with recreating the account on the phone.

Then I switched to version 12.0 and instantly I had access to the  
account from the iPhone and the icons look better now as well - and no  
iPhone mail app crash since more than 24 hours.
