Looks like I can use the setObject- method in the Driver. I'll dive into 
it. One more design issue here, maybe a totally new subject, but anyway.
I would like to be able to sync objects that are modified and newly 
added in the Turba addressbook. I have a timestamp when the last sync 
was made in my sync-app and would like to have two timestamps on the 
Turba objects:
- a creation timestamp
- a "modified" timestamp (as exists on the kronolith_event object).
And then of course some new methods in the api to find newly added and 
modified objects.
Is this something you would consider to include in the Turba object?
Guess it's quite a lot of work, maybe it's better to keep that 
information outside of Horde, but I think the information is quite vital 
to future sync-projects.

Cheers
