Hi Niko,

I followed your installation guide. A problem of mine is that I'm not an 
expert regarding the Mozilla applications. It was quite difficult to find 
the place where to configure the extensions. Well, I've found it, but I'm 
not sure to have configured the settings correctly. Perhaps you can state a 
bit more verbose on your web page where to find the settings.

I've choosen the default for a personal addressbook and a new calendar (My 
Calendar). I've set the account and the appropriate folder. What does the 
"Save to IMAP folder checkbox" mean? (Sorry, you refer to a Release Notes 
document, but I don't now how to find that.)

There are two Sync checkboxes (Calendar and Contacts). What do they mean? Is 
that bidirectional syncing? I would like to have Thunderbird reading from 
my Kolab account, but I would prefer not to upload any data so far. Is that 
possible?

I currently have Sync Calendar activated, but I wonder how I can access the 
data from within the calendar application. Is the data written to any file 
after the conversion? Additionally, guessing from your roadmap, Kolab 2 
format seems to be unsupported so far. This would explain why I don't get 
any data to see.

Wow, that's many questions. Nevertheless your approach is promising.

Best regards,
Andreas
