Funambol? z-push? which do I need?

[dylanjh]

Having read what the forums and wiki have to say about funambol and z-push, Im left a little confused: If i want to sync email, calendar and contacts to my phone do I need Funambol and z-push (server and related clients)? or just Funambol?
Outwardly funambol seems to be able to sync calendar, contacts and tasks (although ive read tasks arent working that well , in 6 GA at least) But theres no mention of syncing email in the funambol client.
Similarly, z-push works brilliantly for email by utilizing the widely available Mail For Exchange, but calendar and contacts are notably absent. There is a sourceforge project to develop a complete zimbra backend for z-push, but as yet, there doesnt seem to be much activity. Attempting to develop my own z-push zimbra back end was a consideration, but with next to no developer documentation made that somewhat difficult. So I guess after all that rambling, my question really is:
Will funambol sync email, calendar, and contacts between my phone and my zimbra server? If it did, it would be suuuuuuhhhweeeeeet.

As far as I know z-push is at present time only useful for mail. But calender is used via caldav. And there is an announcement for 6.01 (perhaps now 6.02) for a carddav server in Zimbra. So perhaps no seed for anything else.

The funambol zimbra connector works somehow. But it looks that there is no developer.

Thanks for your input, but errr...... does that mean funambol will sync email, calendar and contacts?

Yes it will if it works. There is no official running Version for Zimbra > 5.18.
The Version here in the forum is not official. As I said there seems to be no developer for it. It could happen that with the next update it will stop again.

But give it a try.
