[johnjones]

oh what a world we live in

apple wrote a sync engine named isync that works...
it is a syncML server and has proved thats what you need
(palm has a known way of sync and very much just for palmOS so target phones then palm not the other way round)

for standards please please
The standards that need to be addressed are RFC 2445 (iCalendar), RFC 2446 (iTIP), and RFC 2447 (iMIP)

read and make sure you can work with Evolution and lotus notes

regards

John Jones

Integration

Once Lightning is integrated with Thunderbird, the Mozilla Foundation will tackle the more difficult task of integrating Thunderbird with Firefox.

Once this is complete the integrated product will be called the, "Mozilla Suite".
