Horde calendar & contact synchronisation with outlook

Post by trencarbe »

Here's a short info on how to sync both Windows based PDA and Nokia E-series phone.

For both scenarios, the WLAN at home is used.

BubbaTwo is located at 192.168.1.100


For Windows PDA:
It works out of the box with Synthesis SyncML client. Download a 30 days demo from http://www.synthesis.ch/dl_client.php?lang=e&lay=desk

Connection string in Synthesis SyncML:
http://192.168.1.100/pim/rpc.php

Enter horde account username /password.
Enter what to sync (contacts, events, tasks)
Remove the 'sync only 30 days before / 90 after today' option.
Sync!



For Nokia E-series phone:
In the phone, use the built-in SyncML client. Goto Menu -> Tools -> Sync -> Create new sync profile.
Do not copy values from an existing sync profile!

Connection settings:
Server version: 1.1
I've only tried with this setting so far...

Address to host:
http://<external address to my bubbatwo>/pim/rpc.pim
(could not get it to work with the easy name address...?)

Port: 80

Horde user name/password.

Accept all sync requests


Program settings:
For Contacts:
Include in sync: Yes
Database: contacts

The program names are called calendar, tasks, notes, and contacts.


The built in SyncML in Nokia manages only 80 contacts at a time, so if you have about 220 contacts like me, you'll have to sync them 80 at a time...
Synthesis client worked without any problems.


Hope this helps!

Thanks for the howto. It works like a charm with my E90.
All of a sudden Horde seem a bit more usable...

An addition to your howto:
If you want it a bit more secure use https and port 443 instead of http and port 80.

Does anybody know if there are more working SyncML-clients for Windows Mobile Devices available?
(I don't have a credit card for buying the synthesis client.... :roll: )
