If people like Gunnar would use a "normal" format in their messages, one 
could even read the archives... :-(
Anyway, the discussion there doesn't take me any further.

https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue406 comes closest to my problem. 
However I've just checked some details and while the issue tends to blame 
Kontact I actually think that the Connector has a problem in my case. Here 
is why:

Kontact shows exactly whats defined on the server. And I actually never had 
problems with Kontact. I'm using LANG=C on my Linux system running Kontact 
and the folder is named Calendar in Kontact and on the server. The 
annotation is pretty fine, the calendar folder is my default calendar:

localhost> info INBOX/Calendar
{INBOX/Calendar}:
  lastupdate:  4-Apr-2006 13:31:41 +0200
  partition: default
  size: 718776
  folder-test: true
  folder-type: event.default
  h-share-uid: gungl at osp-dd.de
localhost>

Now let's have a look at the OL + Connector side. If I start with a new 
account and a new PST sync'ed with the server, I end up with a folder 
"Calendar" in my German OL + German Connector 2.0.x.
I can usually use this calendar folder for quite some time w/o problems, 
i.e. the events show up correctly and so on. Everything is fine for me up 
to here.

At "a certain point in time" OL decides to come up with an additional folder 
named Kalendar. However, there is no such folder on the server.
I'd be fine with having Kalender in OL if it insists on translating the 
folder name as stated in some on the mentioned issues. However I can't 
stand having _two_ folder objects in the view for _one_ folder on the 
server while it's unpredictable for me to know if the contents in the view 
is correct in any of the folder views (Calendar and Kalender).

localhost> lm INBOX/*
INBOX/CLS (\HasChildren)
INBOX/CLS/... [snipped]
INBOX/Calendar (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Contacts (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Gel&APY-schte Objekte (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Hold (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Journal (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/KDE (\HasChildren)
INBOX/KDE/... [snipped]
INBOX/KalenderTest (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Log-Mails (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/NOA (\HasChildren)
INBOX/NOA/... [snipped]
INBOX/Notes (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Tasks (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Trash (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/Weitere_Projekte (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/drafts (\HasNoChildren)
INBOX/sent-mail (\HasNoChildren)
localhost>

[Note that "KalenderTest" doesn't have an event annotation. I use it to copy 
messages to there as kind of quick backup before doing some "dangerous" 
sync'ing to my Calendar folder and for using SyncKolab with T/Bird.]


So after all it's not about checking some reports, but about a completely 
new problem which I'd like to have confirmed by somebody else before I file 
an issue against the Connector.
BTW, one might even wonder why I don't get duplicates for Contacts 
(Kontakte) or Tasks (Aufgaben). It somehow only happens to Calendar for me. 
I attach a small picture showing the folders in OL.

Andreas
