Thanks, syncing works now with the N900, but just for contacts. For 
calendar syncing I'll get some logs and trace files of what the N900 
implementation does and will make another bug report for that.
Sounds good. If possible, set horde to use a dedicated log for 
activesync (see the configuration), and attach the log to the ticket. 
A wireshark session would be useful as well.

What's the point of standards documents if clients don't follow them?

Anyway, if that is indeed the only only issue preventing the N900 from 
synching, then this should fix it.

Nokia's N900 [0] with the latest Maemo 1.3 release fails to sync with 
the Horde ActiveSync implementation. The N900 doesn't send the "User" 
parameter in the request URL which is a required parameter in Horde 
ActiveSync. The open-xchange team had the same bug report with their 
implementation [1].

Before I also used the N900 with Z-Push 1.5.1 and the IMAP-Backend and 
there it worked with syncing mails.

Pleas tell me, if I can provide you more information to solve the problem.

Quote from open-xchange forum:
"we fixed the reported issue with 6.16 which will be released very 
soon. The problem was, that the N900 client does not send any 
authentication data as a request parameter but only as auth-basic 
information. This is not usual for ActiveSync clients. In order to 
maintain compatibility, we've changed the handling to support such 
kinds of authentication."
