So, this EPlugin is similar to any other Enterprise plugin (Groupwise/Exchange OWA/Exchange MAPI), which when a evolution mail account is created would create a corresponding calendar/contact configuration. Here for EAS, instead of creating a direct ESource, I'd create a SyncEvolution cfg to sync calendar & contacts. > > Will there be a 1:1 match between an ActiveSync database and a local EDS > database?

But I haven't looked any deep in to the ActiveSync, so can't really say. I'll dig more.
