May be cause it was sent before subscription was finished, and it was too

Thank you for the information.
1) How can i than acomplish the pairing on the horde server? 
2) How can i acomplish the synchroniation back from the device to the server? 
Do i have to activate syncml too? Or how is that usually done?

I meant that on the application configuration page there is no link to the 
ActiveSync configuration page. It is also not inidicated as activated 
application. That is why i suspect that I'm still missing some prerequisit 
library, pear module or something went wrong during installation. As a 
consequence i do not have any possibility to turn on the device specific 
logging. So how do i first properly install ActiveSync support on horde. Do i 
have to deinstall my broken ActiveSync horde package first and reinstall it or 
would it be sufficient to install any required external library and php module 
which would be required for proper operation of ActiveSync. Which libraries 
and packages including the ones from horde would i require?

Yoou are right it was and is still to big. I think i have to get the 
installation right to get the link to the ActiveSync devices specific 
configuration page and thus the installation right (see above).

I have not tried yet. Meanwhile i noticed that i had not copied the data from 
the sim to the ActiveSync account. Now i atleast see in horde that the devices 
is synchronized. Still the question remains how do check whether I'm missing 
some package or library to get the configuration link working. How do i pair 
the device using horde only? How do i get the data from the device into horde, 
what do i miss?

Thank you very much
