Thanks for the hint. We had not included the autodiscover-settings  
because we use
automx to provide autodiscover for Outlook and autoconfig for  
Thunderbird and therefor
i thought that we did not need autodiscover in horde.

The rewirte rules caused all ActiveSync connections to fail so I had  
to disable them.
I didn't had the time to debug the problem further.
