No it was an intermediate solution in order to avoid an additional piece of 
compley software (RDBMS).

Using a file instead of IMAP breaks the scalability aspect of the Kolab 
Webclient.

I don't understand this. E.g. a webclient can easily use the more efficient 
session instead of persistent storage in order to keep volatile data (which 
can easily be regenerated anyway)
