About your questions on the shared folders support on aethera:

First of all, if you would like to share a calendar or a contact or a note in
kolab 1, you have to use imap shared folder. Just create a folder "calendar",
which will appears as "user.calendar" in imap. Do not forget to subscribe to
the folder and to be in the acces control list (some command line could be used
to dialog with the server).

In aethera, to see a shared calendar or a contact calendar, your account have to
be a kolab account.
Use the functionnality "search for shared calendars" in plugin datebook
Use the functionnality "search for shared addressbooks" in plugin adressbook,
Use the functionnality "search for shared notes" in plugin notes.

This functionnality browse imap shared folders to find folders which contains
mail with vCard or calendar or notes. And those folders will appears in
aethera.

But if a shared imap folder is empty, it will not appears in aethera. Because we
could not determinate it type. First you could use a folder as your personnal
kolab folder. And after everyone could see the folder (remember
rights,subscribe,etc.)

I test it under windows with aethera 1.1 and kolab 1, and it works.
You could find some snapshots in aethera help, section groupware
