It looks like CTCap for me only shows the mimetypes of the databases
I've selected already, so I can't discover new ones this way.

What I did learn today, is that the S60 --identifier is not matching
the phone synchronisation profile name, but actually the "Host
address"!

I think "syncml-obex-client --identifier 'my sync' -b
00:19:79:CE:B8:FD 10 --wbxml --sync text/x-vMessages sms" may work,
however the phone just shows "Connecting" for ages. I think maybe I
have too many entries on the phone? I cleared the INBOX into folders,
but maybe it still uses those (I hope so, actually.)

Eventually the sync with text/x-vMessages shows "Operation time-out"
on the handset. The received-0.xml log is at
http://pastebin.com/m200e5897 (ignore the &#8722; parts, sorry.)

I can't delete all the messages to try with a cleaner handset, because
I can't back them up...

However, for syncing more types of my content, "Lifeblog" seems to be
a database on the phone with MMS, photos, SMS, etc. etc. I just don't
know what mimetype to use in the obex-client?

I tried "application/atom+xml" and "application/x.atom+xml", as well
as text/xml, application/xml, etc.

Maybe I need to set up Lifeblog on a Windows PC and sniff a sync with
that.
