[sync] Testing Sony Ericsson K610

[Karsten Fourmont]

Hi,

syncing something other than the default address book is on my todo 
list. Unfortunately I'm pretty busy atm, so I don't know when I'll be 
able to tackle this.

The technical reason why syncing currently works only on the default 
address book :
The sync module relies on the Horde History to determine the changes 
done to individual entries. Currently the Turba address book doesn't 
store information about the address book so there's no way to find out 
"all changes to address book xxx in the last two days". This has to be 
fixed first.

Once that's done supporting multiple address books is relatively easy: 
the "database" field configured in the client can be set to something 
like "contacts?source=myaddressbok" (It's actually an URL). Support for 
this is partly already implemented.

I hope I'll find some time for that soon. Please don't hesitate to give 
me a knock from time to time :-)

Cheers,
  Karsten
