Hello all, I had a quick look at the horde site and noticed that horde is being advertised as, let's say, "smartphone friendly". Does anyone know if the newest horde version can "talk" to? smart phones in regards to e-mails ? In other words, can a user owning a smartphone get his/her e-mails on it apart from the webpage ?

This will simplify setup for many people, using autodiscovery feature of activesync.
