[turba] turba Digest, Vol 1634, Issue 1

[Pierre]

Hi,
To synchronize my linux computers, I use syncevolution (the last stable
release)
To synchronize my phone, I use funambol application.
In those applications, "other email, address and phone" are implemented.

With syncevolution and funambol, "other email" field goes to email,
"other fax" field goes to fax.
in sync evolution and funmbol, the "other address" fields goes nowhere
and are lost, and "other phone" field as well. IM address are not sync
at all.
So in a way, why does it work for "other email" and "other fax" and not
for "other address" and "other phone"?
By the way, the only attribute I made up was "other phone". "other
address" fields are already defined in the default file attribute.


Where can I find some information about the protocol that horde uses?

thanks...

Only known fields from attributes.php are synched. You cannot make up  
your own attributes and have them magically synchronized.

Not all fields/attributes are synchronized. Only fields supported by  
the device and/or known by the synchronization protocol (you didn't  
even mention how you synchronize) can by synched.
