Thanks for the bragging-by-proxy. :-)

I think we're the first to have a released product, but I'm not  
certain we're the only ones who've implemented it. Most of the other  
closed-source companies have much longer release cycles that we do.  
(We made 12 releases this year, and we're not slowing yet).

We're certainly not the only ones to have things like CONDSTORE,  
which is much harder work, and gets both client and server 90% of the  
way there, so QRESYNC will probably start to appear soon.

Reading the docs? You're weird...

EARLIER indicates that the VANISHED response you're looking at  
doesn't refer to an event that's just occured, but to one (or lots)  
that occured at some unspecified point in time, probably when you  
weren't looking.

To put it another way, these EARLIER ones are resynchronization data,  
and not event notifications.

Hoorah - I know several people within Isode using Evolution who'll be  
happy at that. Feel free to bug me if there's anything I can do to  
help (test accounts, etc).
