| === SyncML for Thunderbird / Lightning ===
| |
|
| |
| It is now also possible to sync the addressbook from Mozilla Thunderbird.
| |
| The SyncML based extension for Mozilla Thunderbird can be downloaded from
| |
| http://topologilinux.com/syncml/
| |
|
| |
| Funambol also provides a solution for Thunderbird address book and for Lightning (calendar) plugin. It can be found on sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/sync4jmozilla/. Tested with Funambol Opensource 3.0 package for Linux, Thunderbird 1.5.0.9 (french) and Lightning 0.3.1, Funambol PIM plugin 0.2.2

| ==== SyncML with Oracle Calendar / Oracle Collaboration Suite (OCS) ====
| |
|
| |
| OCS is used by numerous companies and universities such as [http://www.washington.edu/computing/smartphone/syncml.html U of WA] [http://calagenda.berkeley.edu/ UC Berkeley] [http://kb.wisc.edu/wisccal/page.php?id=2674 U of WI] and [http://www1.umn.edu/umcal/support/SyncML/ U of MN] to provide calendaring. OCS [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/cs/user_info/omobile_collaboration/mobile_data_sync_index.html#002606 offers] SyncML functionality out of the box but its default [http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/cs/user_info/omobile_collaboration/html/mobile_data_sync_get_started.html settings] requires SSL to function. The only SyncML client that currently offers SSL is the [http://www.synthesis.ch/prod_client.php?lang=e&lay=desk Synthesis SyncML Client], the GPL [http://topologilinux.com/syncml/ Tsync] does not. Expanding Tsync funcationaliy to offer SSL and work with OCS would massively expand the thunderbird/sunbird user base, the U of MN has over 9,000 Oracle calendars users alone.

| OK, it isn't pretty, but as a temporary fix until a proper sync solution can be developed would it be possible to write something to sync between thunderbird/sunbird and [the desktop version of] ''Outlook'' (which is supplied with every PocketPC to my knowledge) - then ActiveSync will work normally in syncing between Outlook and PocketPC | | OK, it isn't pretty, but as a temporary fix until a proper sync solution can be developed would it be possible to write something to sync between thunderbird/sunbird and [the desktop version of] ''Outlook'' (which is supplied with every PocketPC to my knowledge) - then ActiveSync will work normally in syncing between Outlook and PocketPC |

| === Sync4j Mozilla Synchronizer ===
| |
|
| |
| I am particularly glad to announce that we had a contribution for a first release of the Sync4j Mozilla Synchronizer, a Mozilla plug-in that allows you to sychronize the Mozilla calendar with a Sync4j SyncML server.

| The next version of Mac OS X Server (v10.5) will include a CalDAV server, which will allow any calendar application that supports the iCalendar format to access and share calendars. A brief blurb about iCal Server is available from Apple at http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/leopard/icalserver.html. You can find additional information about CalDAV at http://www.caldav.org/. | | The next version of Mac OS X Server (v10.5) will include a CalDAV server, which will allow any calendar application that supports the iCalendar format to access and share calendars.

| == BirdieSync: Windows mobile synchronization for Thunderbird and Lightning over ActiveSync ==
| |
|
| |
| BirdieSync allows synchronization of contacts, appointments and tasks with Thunderbird and Lightning over ActiveSync. It works with Pocket PC and Smarphones under Windows Mobile. If you want more information check out http://www.birdiesync.com
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Question? How did this happen? A Microsoft Sync conduit is created before a Palm conduit is even started?
| |
|
| |
| It's a pity that BirdieSync is not freeware. I think until BirdieSync doesn't become at least freeware one should keep working on their own method to sync Thunderbird with PPC. BirdieSync shows that it's possible to sync Thunderbird and PPC using ActiveSync, so the goal should be to work on a native method (via ActiveSync) to sync TB and PPC, because it's the most efficient and resource saving way.
