I haven't been able to get very far with the Outlook client - client gives a
"SyncBody not found" error after receiving the server's first response (how did
you get around this?)  Tried to test with the Sync4J SyncClient PIM Demo v1.0.3
(standalone Java client), using the calendar database, and managed to see the
following:

1) Client initiates conversation with server, sends creds and requests two-way
sync
2) Server responds with auth accepted, 508 error on two-way sync request (first
time syncing), and requests a slow-sync
3) Client accepts slow-sync, sends its database
4) Server accepts data, sends its database

Then nothing.  So it had the beginnings of a good sync, but came to an end when
the client received the last package from the server but decided not to process
it.  Perhaps can't handle the vcalendar format... ?

Along those lines, I did note that the server sent the following Add request to
the client in the last package:

<add>
  <CmdID>4</CmdID>
  <Meta>
    <Type>Array</Type>
  </Meta>
  <Item>
    <Source>
      <LocURI>20050323123713.2levp63n95yc at test.pipenet.org</LocURI>
    </Source>
      <Data>BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:-//The
..

Is type "Array" valid?  Shouldn't it be "text/x-vcal" or some such thing?  I
can send the actual XML messages if anybody wants to look into it.

And if anybody can suggest a Java client that works well and produces usable
error messages or logging, please let me know!
