I was more or less forced to try the various SyncML services supported by Syncevolution lately. I thought perhaps I could share some remarks I have made about them.
1) OVI (for reference - dead and buried thanks to Microsoft) ------ 2) Mobical ---------- ... has become Everdroid, which in turn has become Keep (https://www.keepcontacts.com/web/ ). But it's now nothing more than an addressbook backup service. It no longer handles calendar, tasks nor memos (so they could well be removed from the Mobical template). 3) Funambol ----------- ... (AKA OneMediaHub) was my favorite until they played a bad trick on some of their users two months ago. 1st, they began rejecting normal (non-SSL) connections--which makes some sense after all. But 2nd (and there I'm guessing), without telling anyone, they switched from SHA1 signing scheme to SHA2. While Syncevolution handles this easily, that was not the case of my aging Nokia E72 which has never heard of SHA2. So along with several old phone users I was cut off from Funambol on the smartphone side. 4) Memotoo ---------- ... is not free, but the small fee is much less than a new phone. They have been smart enough to devise a fallback address (https://sha1.memotoo.com/syncml ) so that legacy (not SHA2-compliant) devices can still take advantage of SSL connections. (But the normal http address is still working.) I also appreciate that the one-way sync can be triggered directly from their server (of course I can do that from Syncevolution, but not from my phone). It's my best choice so far.
