Kolab uses MySQL only for Roundcube caches and settings. The actual<br>
data (emails, calendar items, etc) is stored in IMAP folders. Calendar<br>
items are stored in a Kolab specific format. [1] and [2]<br>
<br>
I guess the easiest to import data from outside is via an iCalendar<br>
export (ics file). That works for Google Calendar, I don't know about<br>
Zarafa. See for import into Roundcube [3].<br>
<br>
hope this helps,<br>
