[Kolab-devel] Kola 3 development with libkolabxml or libkolab

[Christian Mollekopf]

Hey,

The Kolab::MimeObject interface in current master of libkolab provides 
read/write support of Kolab-Object MIME messages through the Kolab Containers.
Bindings are currently available for PHP only, but Python will follow soon.

I'd suggest using this interface over handling the MIME message yourself or 
using KolabObject with the KDE containers (unless that is what you finally 
need).

Cheers,
Christian
