Yes, these are the necessary modules. 2 is something that I see as
seperate parts since the IMAP handling would deal with identifying the
groupware folders and dealing with their annotation as well as
managing messages in folders. And reading/writing the Kolab XML format
should then be a section completely independant of IMAP. But I guess
you meant it that way.

Cheers,

Gunnar
