[sync] Trouble keeping SyncML in sync with IMAP store

[Jan Christoph Ebersbach]

Good morning,

I'm experiencing some trouble keeping a mobile device in sync with data that 
is stored in an IMAP folder. I.e. creating an event with Kontact-Calendar and 
trying to sync this event with my mobile device causes SyncML to think that 
there is no new event in the IMAP folder.

I tracked the problem down to a missing entry in the horde_histories table 
which is not updated by the SyncML implementation at the moment. Btw, when I 
open the calendar in kronolith the missing entry is added automatically.

I wrote a small patch to work around this problem by syncing the IMAP folder 
every time a SyncML-sync is performed. So far there is still a problem with 
syncing the IMAP folder this way because the changes are not included in the 
current but the next SyncML sync.

Do you have any suggestions solving this problem in a better way?

Greetings.
