I see, the vertical tabs are probably the better choice.

As far as I can see it actually syncs Akonadi (and hence Kontact) with the 
remote SyncML server http://my.funambol.com/sync, which just as easily could 
be any SyncML capable groupware server. Right?

I think this use case is very important. Kontact and Akonadi is heading for 
phones, tablets as well as already being on laptops. SyncML and Activesync 
provides a way to sync them all with the groupware server. IMAP and MAPI are 
probably better protocols, but at least SyncML and Activesync are typically 
available without need for VPN.

I am very interested in seeing this work. Kolab currently implements z-push, 
an open impelemtation of activesync. It can be used for testing (so no need 
for Exchange licenses). I have made a KVM image of Kolab that can be set-up in 
minutes to get a server side test environment.

Not sure how long GSOC is, but activesync would be a great addition to the 
project.
