>>> Hi!
>>>
>>> I've installed Horde 5.0.0 and ActiveSync 2.0.1.
>>>
>>> As clients I play around with Samsung Galaxy S (i9000, Android  
>>> 2.3.5) and a Samsung Galaxy S3 (i9300, Android 4.0.4).
>>>
>>> I tried:
>>>
>>> $conf[activesync][emailsync]=true
>>> $conf[activesync][version]=12.1
>>> Neither i9000 nor i9300 work - they can successfully set up the  
>>> account, but no data is synced, nothing (besides the initial  
>>> connection) is logged in ActiveSync log on horde server.
>>>
>>> $conf[activesync][emailsync]=true
>>> $conf[activesync][version]=12
>>> i9000 same as with 12.1. i9300 works as expected.
>>>
>>> $conf[activesync][emailsync]=true
>>> $conf[activesync][version]=2.5
>>> i9000 same as with 12.1. i9300 works as expected.
>>>
>>> $conf[activesync][emailsync]=false
>>> $conf[activesync][version]=2.5
>>> i9000 works and i9300 works but no email is synched (as expected).
>>>
>>>
>>> In settings there's: "All versions are backwards compatible" so  
>>> this seems not correct behaviour to me.
>>>
>>> Any information on whar I might miss?

I guess I should also mention that you must run the new database  
migration for ActiveSync via the administration UI as well.
