[sync] Activesync Errors

Hi

After resolving my logging errors and getting sync to work I was reasonably impressed.

Calendar syncs almost immediately - I made a test appointment in Horde, and by the time I opened the calendar on the phone, it was there.  Deleting it from the phone took a while to replicate on Horde though - and I'm not quite sure why.  Not that I'm complaining - I'd just like to understand the limitations.

Address book is a whole other ball game.  I created a new contact on the phone and it never appeared in Horde.  None of the contacts in Horde appear on the phone either.

The sync.log has these errors:

But all the data - apart from one test contact is coming from Data that's always been in Horde.  Including the data format.  Can someone help me debug this?


Also - it seems to sync the calendar every 5 minutes, which seems a little aggressive (and is killing my Droid's battery).  Is this normal?

Thanks.

Simon
