Mozilla Email & Calendar PDA Synchronization?

jark writes "Outlook is, for the most part, the industry standard for contact management, personal information management and email use in the corporate workplace. We are looking in to deploying Mozilla across our network, included with the Calendar project, but have one last necessary hurdle: PalmOS synchronization. Are there currently any applications that will sync Mozilla mail, address books and calendar events with PalmOS based handhelds? If not, are there any plans in the works for this to become a reality?"

The calendar project is very much unfinished work, I don't think it would be a good idea to distribute it to non technical users right now. Currently the work seems to focus on getting the basic features of a calendering tool right. I suspect it will take quite a bit of time before somebody will start thinking about how to export to specific PDAs.

The tool itself looks really cool already (a zoom option would be nice, I don't like scrolling) and no doubt it will continue to develop rapidly. I think that it will be moved into the Mozilla source tree once it is in a more useable state. I don't think that that will happen before 1.1, though.

IMAP indeed

That last suggestion (involving mailsync) is the most useful one. Tools like mailsync are possible because IMAP is a modern, flexible protocol. I really wish email providers and programmers would exploit it more fully, and stop pretending that POP-based tools are cutting-edge.
