| 1. Integration via SyncML This is the official way to connect mobile devices with Sogo. It's setup is decribed in the [[http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Mobile%20Devices%20Configuration.pdf|sogo documentation]] |

| * The remote names recommended in the sogo documentation are sogo-card / sogo-cal and sogo-todo. The Funambol clients usually use different names, like card, cal todo. For a simpler user expirience it is best to also setup the same/additional remote names on your funambol server. | |

| * Only a single sync source is possible (No way to sync with multiple sogo servers) * No way to distinc multiple calendars and address book on the Android device |
* There are reports of problems with syncing, such as events getting duplicated * The Funamabol server is a bit heavy |

| 3. Integration via ActiveSync * There exists a [[http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/sogo/z-push/|project]] which is working on a ActiveSync connector, but it is not yet production quality |
3. Integration via ExchangeActiveSync * There exists a [[http://www.algepop.net/users/alge/sogo/z-push/|project]] which is working on a ExchangeActiveSync connector, but it is not yet production quality |
Integrating Android devices with Sogo
Currently you have 3 ways to integrate your Android device with Sogo
On Android side you have to look for these potential issues
- Calendar sync if not supported on devices running Android 2.1 or older
- When using the funambol client, make sure have the version with calendar sync enabled
There exists extended version of the funambol client, not available in the market https://android-client.forge.funambol.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=81&expandFolder=81&folderID=0
The advantages
Support for task sync when Astrid is installed and the Funambol client is used
The disadvantages
- There are reports of problems with syncing, such as events getting duplicated
- The Funamabol server is a bit heavy
- Integration via Caldav / Cardav
Two working clients for sogo are http://dmfs.org/caldav/ and http://dmfs.org/carddav/
- Other clients exist, but most have problems with sogo
The advantages of the dmfs clients
- Integrates fully in android
- Very simple setup as it presents your available calendars and address books
- Each calendar on Sogo is also a calendar on Android (You can set different colors and names)
- Each address book in Sogo is also a address book in Android
The disadvantages of the dmfs clients
- Very new solution
- Alpha stage (but alreay performing very good and developer actively working on the project)
- Currently no todo/task sync available
Integration via ExchangeActiveSync
There exists a project which is working on a ExchangeActiveSync connector, but it is not yet production quality
- It will probably also have the limitation of one calendar and address book setup only
