Synchronize SmarterMail with Mobile Devices Using SyncML

Applies to: SmarterMail 6.x (Enterprise only)

SmarterMail uses the Funambol SyncML plug-in for synchronizing calendars, contacts, tasks, and notes with Microsoft Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and most smart phones. Prior to synchronizing SmarterMail with your mobile device, please make sure that you have downloaded and installed the appropriate version of this plug-in. NOTE: SmarterMail does not support Corporate Calendar because it is a special app and does not follow AS standards. This note only effects the Motorola Droid, Droid 2 and Droid X.

NOTE: Funambol 8.5 is recommended to use due to protocol changes that were made in later version.
