SyncML is used e.g. for synchronization with old Blackberries. SyncML normally only allows synchronization of one calendar only. So you can choose which one to sync there. If you choose to sync multiple calendars, you have to specify a different "tag" for each of these, in order to distinguish on your mobile from which calendar the event originated. This is necessary for changes going back to SOGo. > Also, when I am administrating ACLs, what does it specifically mean to > subscribe a user?

In order to change her/his privileges, you have to double click his/her entry. Then you get a window in which you can set the privileges. If you don't do that, he/she will remain on default settings. The moment you revoke all privileges for an user, the corresponding calendar will be inaccessible for her/him. I sometimes get a delay with that, but logging out and logging in again of the revoked user fixes that always. > It would be very nice as an administrator to subscribe a user to someone > else's calendar, and to have that calendar appear automatically in the > first device/app they configure.
