I usually connect once with Kontact to a new account and create the 
groupware folders from within that application. Afterwards the web frontend 
works fine (without the need to manually modify the database).

However IMO the functionality of the frontend depends on the date fo the 
Horde sources. I can use sources from middle of October which provide most 
of the functionality I need, while current snapshots don't allow me to use 
anything but e-mail.

Does somebody else share this experience? Or can someone recommend a change 
so that I can work with that newer sources too?
