Integrating Android devices with Sogo

Currently you have 3 ways to integrate your Android device with Sogo

1. Integration via SyncML

   • 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
2. 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

3. 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
