> Basically, I am running Horde webmail 5.2.16 on a centos VM server  
> which is accessible ONLY on LAN at adress  
> https://centos-horde/horde.  I am using IMP as Horde's auth backend

>
> I have successfully setup AS as per the wiki's instructions.
>
> I have also setup the exchange account properly (?) on the Android  
> client.  Client is a Nexus 6P phone.

> I can see the client device under Administration > ActiveSync Devices

This is a normal entry, simply stating how much memory the request used.

> After the sync completes, Calendar is empty, task list is empty, and  
> contacts are empty...

Was the Email empty too?


Hard to give any useful feedback without seeing the log, but if the  
email worked and the other collections didn't you could try making  
sure that the preferences for each application are set correctly to  
allow them to be synchronized.
