Jan - apologies for the delayed response - life gets in the way some times.   I was being unclear.   When I add birthdays to my contacts on the SE, it automatically asks if I want to add it to the calendar and set a reminder, etc.  I checked on the device and it all seemed to be fine.  This morning, I decided to check on the calendar in Horde and I noticed the reminder was set to be 899 minutes prior to the event.  I deleted the event totally from the phone and set it up in the calendar as it should be and then did a sync and it now seems to be all working.

I presume I have to download the HEAD and FRAMEWORK passages.  Is there a mini-howto on how to install from snaps?

I'm still having this error - > > Catchable fatal error: Object of class PEAR_Error could not be converted to string in /usr/share/horde3/lib/Horde.php on line 783

The relevant code is about testing for webroots - I don't understand how implementing the VFS would have broken this.  I've googled - but the only page linked was my previous post.  Please can you help.

Thanks.
