Not sure what you mean by that.

Did you turn off the history system? Does the note show a creation date?

Jan.

I had not knowingly turned off the history system. The note did show a creation date, but as I was doing everything in close
succession, I was concerned that that might be the problem.
I therefore switched to daily automatic syncing in stead of every 15mins.  I then created a new note (and, as you can see, deleted
earlier test notes) and tried again by manually starting the sync.
The results are attached.
I seem to have a different problem now.
I think the issue is " Unsupported Content-Type: text/x-s4j-sifn"
I am syncing to Funambol on a Blackberry.
Any suggestions?

Alex

I continued searching and found Christian Bomhardt had posted the following addition for Api.php in lib in mnemo:

        switch ($contentType) {

case 'text/x-s4j-sifn':
             $a=array('Body' => $memo['body'],'Categories' =>
$memo['category'],
              'Subject' => Mnemo_Driver::getMemoDescription($memo['body']));
             return Horde_SyncMl_Device_sync4j::array2sif($a, '<note>',
'</note>');

Adding that (at three places) got rid of the content type error and the process went without apparent error, but still did not sync.

I then got hold of the Funambol logs which say:
Unable to save new item in source [Notes]: general error(javax.microedition.pim.PIMException: Memo must have a title.

So I guess Horde is failing to deliver a title in a format that Funambol can understand.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Alex
