as Jens already mentioned I also don't see this as a Horde bug. This
is a peculiar "feature" of the Toltec connector. So once you start
combining Toltec with other clients you get this situation.

I seem to remember that there are some good reasons for Toltec to use
this scheme but you would have to discuss that with them. The other
connectors (Konsec, Bynari) don't use that scheme and don't have this
type of problem.

But I know that Toltec also tested Horde rather early on, so they
might have some ideas on how to work around this "issue".

If there is a general workaround that might be implemented in code, I
can have a look if we could get it implemented in Horde.

Cheers,

Gunnar
