In practice it hasn't been tried and there are likely to be few obstacles which may require some coding to resolve. Are you looking at this as a user or a programmer? A setup as client of a SyncML server could use the CalDAV/CardDAV backends for its sources. Problem: 1. Only one set of credentials can be stored in the sync config. SyncML and CalDAV/CardDAV server must share the same username/password for this to work. 2. The CalDAV/CardDAV backends might not read these credentials correctly. Currently they expect them in "target-config@<context>" and I don't know whether the code would pick them up from "funambol@default". 3. The "database" property of the CalDAV/CardDAV sources must be set to the full URL of the collection. There's no support in SyncEvolution for reporting valid URLs. Points 1 and 2 might be solved by introducing a new feature: if the current config name is "foo@bar", then the CalDAV/CardDAV sources could retrieve their sync properties (syncURL, credentials) from "target-config@bar" instead. Then credentials can be different for SyncML and CalDAV/CardDAV.
