Hi Geoff,  

you have got the roundcube web mail at your.kolab.install/roundcubemail  which 
surfaces all the groupware functionality + mail.  That will show what is 
possible.

ActiveSync has some limitations on number of calendars I think, but it's been 
while since I tried.  I had a lot of trouble with earlier outlooks and the 
binyari connector and gave up on outlook.  

There is also Lightning add-on to Thunderbird, but I have not explored it 
fully.  

I used ActiveSync on android at first but now use a CalDav connector.  

Overall I currently use Kontact as desktop, roundcubemail via web and CalDav/
imap on Android and I'm happy with the result.

cheers
