Still don’t get it. My understanding is:
- Openchange and Outlook Anywhere setup should be used for Outlook 2010
- SOGo built-in ActiveSync for Outlook 2013
- SOGo built-in ActiveSync for Android and iOS devices
- IMAP/CalDav/CardDav for Thunderbird and alike clients

Am I missing something? Why use Funambol or GetOut? Is there a reason to get 
some +funccionality or is that just an alternative to the above?

Thanks and Regards
Martin.
