That makes sense. :)

DBMail supports shared folders in the experimental version, using IMAP 
ACLs. As I understand it (from reading the architecture paper from the 
kolab/kroupware page) Kolab uses these shared folders to store shared 
calendars. If this is so, storing shared calendars should work in the 
same way as when using Cyrus.
