Hi, I just wanted to give a quick report about my experiences with my Nokia n9 (pr1.1) and my zarafa open source groupware plus z-push to mimic Exchange Active Sync protocol.

In one sentence: it works smooth, no strings attached.

Installation of zarafa can be done with one of the many tutorials around the web. I'm using the latest version (zcp 7.0.4) and z-push 2 alpha. I was not able to sync with the latest stable veriosn of z-push (1.5.6 till now) for whatever reason. The thing is running on a fresh devian squeeze install on my own little server. If set up korrectly it works out of the box, you just have to enter the servers root adress in the MfE configuration, meaning you have to leave the last part of xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/Microsoft-Server-Active Sync away, only entering xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (or the respective domain). The good thing is that MfE allows the port to be configured seperatly, so you don't neet it to stay on port 80 or 443. Helps if you want to run other things on your server as well.

If you don't want to hand all your information to google or nokia, this the way to go. I hope this helps anyone, if you have questions feel free to ask me!

EDIT: I feel like it's a good idea to mention that I am using a http-only connection, without ssl. That's due to the fact that I only sync in my home network... Things might get difficaulter if use ssl, especially with self-signed certificates...
