Kontact 4.5 is _not_ really a production ready or rolled out Kolab Client,
in addition the last-modification-date is of lesser importance.
In my view we could ignore this client revision, the next real 
Kolab Client after Kontact e35 will be Kontact Touch and Kontact Desktop,
both from the E5 series which is coming up.

They do have the defect, though, but this will be fixed very soon, I've just 
reproduced and filed it with a high importance: 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259744 (datetime for 
last-modification-date violating the Kolab Format adding a +00:00)

Again I believe we should not bother with backwards compatibility 
for this client revision.
