There is some organized documentation here -

Do you mean "Sync" or "Connect".  These are two quite different things.
The GroupDAV plugin works fairly well, but not perfectly.  The code can
be gotten here -  svn co
http://developer.opengroupware.org/OGoProjects/evolution-groupdav/trunk
- (I think).  We really need a doc plone page on that one.  That is
useful for *Connect*, but not [I think] for Sync. (Does it work
offline?).  With a recent version of Evolution building and installing
the plugin is very straight-forward.

> and possibly outlook=20

You should be able to *Sync* via Funambol/GroupDAV;  to *Connect* you
need Zidelook.

Via Funambol you can sync with just about anything -
http://docs.opengroupware.org/Members/whitemice/applications/syncml/funambo=
l-setup/view?searchterm=3Dfunambol
This link needs to be updated to reflect the latest version, but
otherwise should be correct.

If you want to *Connect* with Outlook then you should purchase a copy of
the ZideLook plugin;  which also provides an Offline mode.  ZideLook
works well and is inexpensive.

> or Sunbird.

Sunbird only supports iCalendar [AFIAK] and this is really only useful
to viewing/reading,  writes don't work so well (which is a problem with
the iCalendar model, not OGo).

It works quite well,  client support is still a bit nascent.=20
