Oh, good. I would appreciate if you added the info, because
I am not on top of the status of the quality of the connectors
to other groupware server, so I am not sure I should mention them.
(I believe they should only be mentioned if they work reasonably,
which is indicated by a significant number of users that have them in
real production environment.)

That would be wonderful as well.

I agree that is a good point. (Yes, it is possible to "sync" Kontact Mobile,
because it is a full blown email and groupware client. So if you use an IMAP 
server, e.g. a Kolab Server, all clients can access the same data and all
changes will affect them. )

The difference of Kontact Mobile to other "handheld" device mail and calender 
application is that you really get very complete application, which is 
comparable to Kontact itself, including end-to-end email security.

Best,
Bernhard
