[sync] syncML-Palm repeating events glitch

[Eric Thompson]

Thanks to all for your replies.

I don't mind hacking away at this, but in the interest of keeping another good 
man afloat in the meantime, I need to ask this question:

Is there a danger in using the version I have while I'm hacking away with new 
versions to fix the one small problem I found?  The sync's worked so well for 
me, I was surprised that this was labeled "developmental."  Lot's of M$ 
products have given me more trouble!  :-) 

I obviously haven't tested this nearly as much as any of you, so perhaps there 
is a big GOTCHA around the corner that you could warn me about.  I'm 
interested in helping ease my client out of Outlook miseries, and I run 
backups of his server nightly, so his data, including all MYSQL DB's, should 
all be recoverable.  Put simply, is the syncML feature in Horde's Webmail 
1.0.1 going to kill anything, or fail miserably?

P.S.  I've been using Horde for several years.  Love it!  Just new to pda's 
and "syncing" (pun thoroughly intended).
