3)
synce:/// should show my windows mobile device files on nautilus.

4)
I installed all packages necessary to use ActiveSync with Ubuntu and the tray icon can view device status and create a partnership. However, when I call nautilus to explore the device (synce:/// or via the tray icon), it says "can't handle synce locations".

It is of note that Bug #450897 says that synce-gnomevfs is obsolete and says something about a package named synce-gvfs, but I couldn't find it in main, universe, multiverse, restricted or partner.

[Mark Ellis (mark-mpellis)]

synce-gvfs is not in ubuntu repositories because it isn't in debian repositories. Use the synce PPA for now, https://launchpad.net/~synce

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Woonjas (woonjas)]

Still an issue on Oneiric.
Synce-gvfs does not appear in repositories, synce wiki appears to be nothing but spam, is this project still alive?
