Group-Office Professional has a SyncML server built in. There's no need to install a complicated server. Any mobile phone, PDA or software application that supports the SyncML protocol can synchronize data with Group-Office over the air. At the moment Group-Office can synchronize:
- Appointments
- Tasks
- Contacts
The following devices and software are known to work:
- Nokia, Sony Ericsson with Symbian OS (SyncML client is built in)
- Windows Mobile/Pocket PC (Funambol or Synthesis client required)
- Blackberry (Funambol client)
- Palm OS (Synthesis client)
- Outlook (Funambol or Nexthaus client)
- Thunderbird (Experimental! with Funambol client 0.7, there are known issues with this client)
The following clients are available:
| Device | Available clients | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| Outlook | Funambol, Nexthaus | Funambol |
| Pocket PC | Funambol, Synthesis | Synthesis |
| Palm | Synthesis | Synthesis |
| Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Symbian | The SyncML client is already installed on these phones | |
| Blackberry | Funambol, Nexthaus | Funambol |
| Iphone (Limited: [this]) | Synthesis, Funambol, Nexthaus | - |

iphone limitation
Apple restricts it's API for third party developers. Therefore it's only possible to sync contacts. A quote from the Synthesis website:
At this time, Synthesis SyncML Client for iPhone is offered as a free preview in the App Store synchronizing the Addressbook. Current restrictions in Apple's SDK for the iPhone OS do not allow accessing calendar, notes or emails. We are confident that this will change over time - the SyncML client for iPhone OS will be updated to support more and more data types whenever these are made available by Apple or third parties.
General synchronization instructions
To set up a synchronization profile you need the following values:
SyncML Server Version: 1.1
SyncML server URL: http://<Enter the URL for your Group-Office>/sync.php (Look it up at Configuration -> Synchronization in your Group-Office)
Port: 80
Username: Your Group-Office username
Password: Your Group-Office password
Datastores
Usually the datastores are already set correctly by default. Below are the different settings for each client.
| Database | Symbian | Funambol | Synthesis | Nexthaus | Funambol Mozilla |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Calendar | calendar | scal | events | event | event |
| Tasks | none, tasks sync with calendar | stask | tasks | tasks | not supported |
