I know that you guys were working on z-push support a long time ago. Was this ever finished?
It looks like the final non-beta version of z-push was released in April of this year:
http://z-push.org/download/
Also it looks like other webmail systems like roundcube have already adopted it:
https://github.com/kitserve/z-push-roundcube
Having a single protocol to sync everything would be so much better than caldav and cardav!

Last year, we did extensive z-push research and development. It took several months but the result was not satisfactory. In our opinion, the library was not ready for use. It worked pretty good for mail sync but contacts and calendars were not so good. Although in theory it could be possible to make it work but the amount of resources to put in would be enormous - we expected more than 6 months of work.
Nonetheless, I'm notifying product management team of this message of yours as there is a chance that current implementation works better than the one we used for testing.

For years, the main problem with z-push was the absence of ability to sync more than one kind of data. E.g. you can sync only contacts, or only mail, or only calendar, but not all of them at once (like normal ActiveSync clients do). At first glance it seems the mentioned roundcube plugin suffers the same - only contacts. As a minimum, contacts AND mail must be there at once.
Regards,
Alex

It might be time to revisit it now that the library is final. It looks like Atmail now has z-push activesync support also:

How is it that atmail can do it then? Atmail is entirely PHP based just like Afterlogic and are using the z-push backend and can sync everything.

Looking at some of the example configuration to me it looks like z-push supports IMAP, CalDAV, and CardDAV backends unifying all the protocols:
See section "Combined Configuration" here:
