Integration of devices supporting Exchange ActiveSync

Exchange ActiveSync is the protocol used by Microsoft Exchange to sync mobile devices. The specification can be found here.

  • There exists a project which is working on a ActiveSync connector, but it is not yet production quality. It is based on an older version of z-push that has an incompatible license (GPLv2 only) with newer z-push versions (AGPLv3 only).

  • It will probably also have the limitation of one calendar and address book setup only. Although the protocol supports multiple calendars and address books, most phone implementations don't.
  • At the moment you will probably get better results with Syncml

The advantages

  • Almost all mobile devices have built-in support that get a lot of testing.
