I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that this mail was stuck in a misconfigured mailserver for the last few years and just happened to turn up in this thread now, rather than seeing this as an uninformed rant :). To set the record straight, KMail and KDE use the cross-platform OpenSync library (opensync.org), one of the major plugins for which is for SyncML. The 'kitchensync' tool in KDE was ported away from multisync to opensync 2 years ago. For specialised features, Palm OS users can use KPilot and mobile phone users can use KMobileTools. These support device specific features not addressed by SyncML. This code is under active development at the moment but a lot of people are using it already. SUSE employs one of the opensync core developers, a couple of other guys in the Mobile Devices team are involved too, and we host development workshops for syncing.
