[sync] syncML-Palm repeating events glitch

[Jochem Meyers]

The point is that it _might_ kill everything, mess up schedules, or, as you
said, turn tofu purple. The testing for syncml is, in my experience, nowhere
near complete. I've run into several elemental bugs (much like this one) in
the last couple of weeks that really are showstoppers for full production
adoption.

If you do use this version in production, it's of course at your own risk
(as all of horde is really ;)), and there's no way of determining that risk
without trying it.

Regards,

Jochem

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).
