Indeed, this extra X is really wacky. Beside that we currently don't import attendees from iCalendar objects intentionally.

I forgot to mention in the last comment that I copied SyncML/* from framework-FRAMEWORK_3-2008-07-10.tar.gz to my horde/lib directory and tested syncing. Reminders seem to work just fine now.

I have attached vcard-data.txt which is client->server data of a calendar event with two Attendees. The Funambol client does not send the Attendee data when configured to send in SIF format. It has prepended an "X" in front of the first attendee, for some reason. The contact names should just be "Test Contact 1" and "Test Contact 2", with corresponding email addresses. These do not appear to be properly formatted according to the vCalendar 1.0 spec, unless I am reading it wrong. I think by this we can assume that Funambol does not properly support Attendee data at this time.

The alarm synchronization is fixed, but the Funambol documentation doesn't mention any support for synchronizing attendees. Do you know something different? I thought I saw the client sending Attendee data to the server when I was looking at the data packets, so I assumed they did support it. I remember that the client's (Funambol) Attendee data when sending in SIF format was corrupted, but I don't remember how it looked in vCalendar format. Thank you for fixing the Reminder sync. I'll download Sync4j.php from CVS and drop it into my horde installation and test that soon. I'll also generate some new client->server data that contains all fields, especially Attendee, and upload that to this bug trail for reference.

Low	Reply to this comment
Attached is a data.txt file from /tmp/sync of a Kronolith event being sent to a WM5 client running Funambol Windows Mobile Plug-In 6.5.18. It appears that during the server conversion from vCalendar to the SIF format that the Reminder information is not preserved and thus not sent to the client. Attendee data also is not preserved. Current versions of the Funambol plug-in may be able to understand the vCalendar data directly without conversion to SIF.
