sure, but even a funambol connector is not a bad gift for horde community!

> ... Horde provide all sort of API calls...
I should access those functionalities by web, as funambol is java stuff.

thx4info

yes sir!

it's reasonable, but I'm required to support a given version of horde and not 
the latest one. Sure if I could get webservice api or something like that, 
the connector will work in the future too.

Funambol has a platform for managing mobiles: it allows clustering and 
push-email via CTP and STP, more than one back-end for storage data (eg. I 
can use the same funambol server both with horde, caldav, ldap, exchange. On 
mobile I configure one syncml server and I should only set the datasource to 
point to a different backend).

see before. Moreover Funambol is fully compatible with funambol clients ;) and 
with tonns of mobile phones. It provides synclet (aka if you got problem with 
some phones, you can write up your pluggable custom parser).
As I read from funambol/horde ml, horde syncml is not enterprise ready. 

Thx for your answer+Peace,
R.
