[horde] Still ActiveSync problems

Hi Brent,

thank you for your message.

I have removed the

$conf['activesync']['logging']['level'] = '1';

line and created the /var/log/apache2/activesync.log file, but I still 
have the problem with Android.

There is nothing in the activesync log and Android tells me, I could not 
set up the account.

Weird thing is, it works without problem with the TbSync Thunderbird 
plugin (still nothing in the log though).

I am out of ideas.

Best regards,

Ronny
