Please have a look at http://www.kroupware.org/concept-1.0.1.pdf 

rfc1730 says mailbox names can be atoms, quoted strings, or literals.  Of 
those, quoted strings and literals may contain spaces and international 
characters.

This message is sofar not finally defined. I will make a proposal later. 
Basically the KDE Kolab Client currently does not support multiple folders of 
the same type e.g. multiple calendars.

Please let me know when you need to finally know this format.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Kmail Kroupware branch and later Kontact are the benchmark programs.
