Hi - I have a few questions relating to contact/mail/calendar syncing on the Jolla.

Has anyone worked out exactly to what extent "syncing" with Google or Exchange does?

I'm trying to determine if it is worth upgrading to paid Google Apps for the Exchange support - but without knowing the differences and being able to test it, I'm not sure if it's worth the upgrade.

I'm also trying to confirm what happens when I add a Google Account to the device, and what the word 'sync' means for contacts/mail/calendar.


"Google" Account
  • Contacts - The contacts appear on the device, but are changes actually 'synced' (either way) or is it just a one-off copy?
  • Mail - Sets up imap but without idle/push
  • Calendar - Nothing available yet, CalDAV will come in an update (but don't know if this will 'sync' or just copy?).

"Exchange" Account
  • Contacts - how does this work - does it sync in both directions?
  • Mail - how does this work - does email arrive instantly, or is it only checked every x mins?
  • Calendar - how does this work - does it sync in both directions?
