grommunio Sync

grommunio Sync is an open-source application to synchronize Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) compatible devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

While Microsoft Outlook supports EAS, it is not recommended to use grommunio Sync due to a very small subset of features only supported. For Microsoft Outlook, users should rather use the native MAPI/HTTP and MAPI/RPC protocols, available through `grommunio Gromox <https://github.com/grommunio/gromox>`.
