hehe, then i better make it.


The other day i was looking at the calendar project from mozilla, and 
at their extentions.

the calender project from mozilla saves all appointment information in 
one big file.
I was able to import the files from the calendar folder on the kolab 
server.
I only tested with 3, but what i did was saving those files at my 
desktop, and then
i imported them into the mozilla calendar project, which had no trouble.

The stuff in the task folder failed though, and i have no contacts and 
no notes.
It said "no event to import" in the mozilla calendar. I made a single 
task through the
mozilla calendar, and it does look a little different than the one in 
kolab.
(since you all have tasks in kolab, or can make them, i wont include a 
task from
kolab, but i have one from mozilla)

This leads me to believe that the only thing we need is an extention to 
the calendar
that makes the calendar store it's appointments in one file pr. 
appointment, stores those
files at the imap server in the right folder, and then stores it in the 
right format, or changes
to and from a kolab format.

i dont think it should be too hard to hack something together, but i 
dont have the time.
I am however interested in getting kolab support in mozilla, so i'm 
willing to test it.
