BTW, the kolab.org webpages are managed in public by the community,
so help is appreciated and lack of help sometimes explains
why some info is outdated. So if you want more exposure on kolab.org,
just help us to produce the contents. :)

We still need to find a place to document where SyncKolab 1.0
is not yet Kolab compatible and the implications for its use
in a Kolab environment (means: with Kolab Server and other Kolab Clients
on the same folders which is the main function for groupware).
I think we should link it from the mentioned page above.

Nico: Shall we put this on a wiki page?

The thunderbird client is already featured on 

http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Clients_for_Kolab2

and some of the differences to the other clients are mentioned on

http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Clients_Features_Address
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Clients_Features_Calendar
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Clients_Features_Notes
http://wiki.kolab.org/index.php/Clients_Features_Tasks

It could probably use a separate page though:

Yeap this makes certainly sense. Especially to tell that the folder 
annotation doesnt work with thunderbird, and that there is currently no 
way to show free-busy information.

Subject: [Synckolab] synchronization stops.. with the following error:
Message-ID: <487251AA.2030506@gmail.com>

Error: cur.firstChild has no properties
Source File: chrome://synckolab/content/calTools.js
Line: 486

With the debug option I can figure out which is the affected entry.
Maybe this is a special type of entry, which is located in mz 
communicator....

The problem for me is:
synckolab is able to place such an entry on the server, but is not able 
to call it from another computer. This means on the initial computer I 
can sync, all other computers are not able to sync completely. The error 
is reproducable, so this should be possible to fix it. Can you have a 
look at this?

Subject: [Synckolab] Synckolab, Thunderbird, and Palm OS
Message-ID: <487D1FBB.1080405@tuffmail.com>

I've just gotten synckolab in place, and it seems to be working.
I'm really thrilled to have found it.

But for me at least it's only the first part of the puzzle - what I really
want is to be able to sync my Treo - Palm OS - with my Thunderbird contacts
(over the air), and it seems to me that should be possible with Kolab, since
of course my Treo can access my IMAP server. Does anyone know if there is a
Kolab client for Palm OS existing or in the works?  I've searched around a 
bit but haven't haven't found anything.

Thanks!

I have not heard of a Palm OS client for Kolab.
You could try Zindus which syncs TB with GMail contacts and have your 
Treo sync with GMail contacts via goosync or something similar. Sounds a 
bit complicated, but it works pretty well:

SyncKolab --> syncs MAB and Kolab
Zindus --> syncs MAB and Gmail Contacts
Goosync --> syncs (over air) Gmail Contacts and Treo

Cheers,

Alex C.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I know about Zindus (and in fact for 
calendar, I use Goosync and the Thunderbird Provider for Google 
extension to keep Thunderbird and Treo synchronized, via Google 
calendar; I haven't tried Synckolab for calendar), but I'm not fond of 
Gmail contacts as a general-use address book - for one thing, Gmail 
doesn't permit you to have a contact that doesn't have an email 
address.  So that's not really a good solution for me.

There is a Thunderbird-Palm contacts syncing conduit; I already use it 
to keep my Treo contracts synchronized with Thunderbird via the cable.  
So I'll just keep doing that for now, and use Synckolab to keep 
Thunderbird contacts synchronized on my various machines, and I'll hope 
that perhaps someone will develop a Kolab client for Palm OS - it would 
make a lot of sense!

Thanks again!

Subject: [Synckolab] syncing different calendars/IMAP-folders at once
Message-ID: <op.uez8yjeigaej35@ibm-vst.lichtplatz.net>

Hallo list!

Thanks for the months of work on SyncKolab! I think it can grow to an  
alternativ to Exchange where the people don't need all the features.
I am testing SyncKolab for a bigger environment. I noticed some strange  
behaviour in the "SyncKolab Options", but I don't know if it is a bug, or  
a function which is noch implemented yet:
When I try to assign different Calendars to their specific IMAP-folders to  
sync, the selection of the IMAP-folder stays during the change of the  
calender-name in the pull down menu. As I interpret it I can only sync one  
calendar with one IMAP-folder, not more caleners/folders. In the prefs.js  
I see also only one entry for a calender-/IMAP-folder.

Is it a bug, or just not implemented. If it is not jet implemented, can  
someone make a forecast, when this feature will be implemented?

Hello

You need to create 2 configurations to sync 2 calendars with 2 IMAP folders.

Ex:

Conf1
 + Sync w Contacts
 + Sync w Calendar 1
 + Sync w Tasks

Conf2
 + Sync w Calendar 2

In Conf 2 there is no data in the Sync w Contacts nor with Tasks

Like that I map 2 different calendars Personal and Company with two 
different Imap folders. One is on a company-public imap account as a 
shared calendar...

Great work on SyncKolab!!

Another great idea would be a Native iPhone app to sync contacts there 
to the IMAP folder similar to the thunderbird plugin.  That way all 
contacts would be synced using the IMAP folder and a contact added to 
the iPhone Addressbook would be available when I got to my PC and synced 
my Thunderbid.

Apple iPhone SDK actually has a lot of example of working directly with 
the iPhone addressbook.   The only hard part would be getting to the 
IMAP folder and getting the contacts.

Just a thought...

Message-ID: <014EB4D1-39E6-4563-989B-8259796FBB16@gmail.com>

Thanks for create Sync Kolab.


XP Desktop environment:

Thunderbird 2.0.0.16
Sync Kolab 1.0.1
Lightning 0.8
Duplicate Contact Manager 0.6

I am testing Sync Kolab for roll-out to our users. We access email via  
Thunderbird connecting to our IMAP server.

In our testing, we are receiving duplicate entries for the Calendar  
module after syncing occurs yet no new appointments
have been added.

In our test, we created  new folders under the "Inbox" under the names  
of Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks. We are not able to
create folders higher than the parent of "Inbox".  Calendar is mapped  
to Home/Calendar (the default of the installation), Contacts
is mapped to Personal Address Book/Contacts, and Tasks is mapped to  
Home/Tasks.

Am I over looking anything? I haven trying to follow the guide off of www.gargan.org/extensions/synckolab.html

Thanks for your time and assistance.

Steve
