Hey Jan,

Your assumption was correct. I am accessing my Horde calendar events  
with the WebDAV support in Thunderbird. I knew about Funabol but my  
experience with that particular product has been poor at best  
unfortunately and SyncML doesn't yet have a linux port for Thunderbird.

When setting up the access for tasks do I just create it similar to  
the calendar or should it be coming over on it's own with the calendar  
data?

-Eric
