The push mobile service hosts a syncml server compliant with mobile devices under Symbian
OS and running syncml 1.1. The behavior is based on a standard "on demand"
synchronization process from the client device.
The synchronized elements are the user's personal contacts and calendar. Contrary to the
service for windows mobile, there is no client to be installed and no push feature. The service
is totally based on the standard syncml 1.1 client installed on the device.
Because the synchronization is made through a SSL tunnel, the end user must install his own
user certificate on the Symbian device.
The most serviceable is to install first the Extended Communication Server certification
authority, and then the user certificate signed by the Extended Communication Server
certification authority. Both are available in the Extended Communication Server mobile virtual
desktop (See user guide for more information).

for calendar and contacts synchronization
-
The Extended Communication Server must be reachable on the port 143 for IMAP
synchronization
-
The Extended Communication Server hostname must be resolved by a public DNS
