As far as I know, this is not a fault of Toltec but an Outlook difficulty.
If you want to use the iCalendar handling capabilities of Outlook
you need to use the pop3 code.

BTW: The mailbox delivery option users can activate over the webadmininterface 
is designed to work around this limitation somewhat, as it will forward
all non-iCalendar email into a subfolder on the server.

Needed for offline support.

During the proko2 contract, the quality control was done with Toltec.
Otherwise the Kolab project itself is neutral on the Outlook extensions,
some users report more success with one or the other.
