I think remoteId is exactly what I need if the ID can not be setas I'm using
it in the scope of the specific ressource (collection).

This is possible and AFAIK it is available in OpenSync, but as I see it it
doesn't really matter if a client would use the remoteId or a custom tag.

I was not quite sure after looking into the headers where you can request an
Item with specific Id i.e. Item *item = new Item ( 100 ). Unfortunately
after quick test I couldn't create such an item.

I think my problem is that when I create akonadi item it gets remoteId
i.e. "ABCDEFGH" nut i.e. the phone would not accept this id.

I need to look deeper into it, but the idea of using custom flags is also
not that bad.

thanks and regards
