The dev contacted me on the Funambol list - there's a new client coming next Friday apparently, so maybe that will help.  But there's a new issue which prompts a feature request I'd like you to consider please.

The Droid stores/alters the numbers of American and Canadian contacts into a +1-xxx-yyy-zzzz format and since my original (horde) address book has all the numbers in the format +1xxxyyyzzzz, this creates a duplicate contact on horde when the phone syncs back.  Frankly, I think that's a client issue - which I will bring up with them too - but I'd like if the server could interpret that data as being one and the same.  Ditto address books that alter the number to a +1 (xxx) yyy zzzz format.

Here's a page I intend to study more closely today:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Horde_and_Funambol_Synchronization

But here's some other people trying to do this.

What I meant was - since Horde already contains a SyncML server, it shouldn't be too difficult to point it to another sync server (either another Horde one or a Funambol one), enter a username and password and sync server-to-server.
