Torsten,
I didn't realize someone already posted exactly what I was looking for. I read through the thread, bookmarked it, and wrote my response maybe 1 or 2 hours later. That's why I missed it. Dang!
You see, I'm doing this work as an IT admin in my spare time - pro bono, meaning I don't earn anything from it. It's a non profit organization and as such we rely on software developed in the same spirit as we do our work -- free for those who can't afford a professionally supported solution. I think it's rather inappropriate to justify false advertisements with a price point. "It's free, so we don't have to take responsibility!" ?
Take a look at this:
Zentyal Mail offers native support for ActiveSync® protocol. This allows to synchronize mail, contacts, calendars and tasks in Android™ and iOS smartphones and tablets without having to install any additional connectors on the devices.
What would you think if you read this, install Zentyal, spend some hours setting up a test environment just to find out the feature you needed was not there? It is true that you, alongside others, provided a solution, and rest assured, I am able to implement such things in no time, and I am also thankful for your contributions. The point is, and I already pointed that out in my first reply, that the server is managed be non-IT-pros. They need a solid solution that works out-of-the-box with the current web interface. "Hacks" are just inacceptable for such a scenario, as they tend to break functionality quite easily if you fiddle with the wrong things (shit happens...).
So in the end, I disappointed a lot of people and wasted several hours because of simple misinformation. You can't honestly believe that reading a bugtracker and forums should be necessary to find out if advertised features are actually there!
Also, I think it should be possible to point such things out without getting downvoted several times.
Anyway. Glad you guys provided us with a beta package. Exactly what I needed!
