I rather meant in the context of Debian. What tbsync-compatible servers are packaged in Debian?
The only one I know of is Horde with the ActiveSync plugin and Sogo.
More can be found at least at https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/wiki/What-is-TbSync%3F
How does tbsync compare to xul-ext-sogo-connector?

So it is compatible with Microsoft Exchange Server. Always? Or only in some specific setup? If you know, why not mention it? Debian users in companies might appreciate that information. But you are right: a readme file or the wiki mentioned above might suffice :-)
And yes, I really appreciate that you package this!
