Calendar data is stored in the Agenda, contacts and tasks folders.  From this 
data korganizer, kaddressbook, etc construct there information views/trees.  
I will most likely be slow/cumbersome/not handy if this is retrieved from 
imap folders.  Anyway, regular email could be regular imap, while the 
"kontact" folders should be dimap, hence all the requirement for dimap AFAI 
understand it.
