Tool for converting Kolab XML (toltec) to iCal .ics form?

Yes and no. ;-) I've written a perlscript some time ago which reads all 
calendar- (and/or task-) data via IMAP/SSL from a Kolab-Server and 
writes them into a single *.ics-file (you have to split this manually 
into single iCal-files). It's beta, but we're using it successfully in 
my company for a while (oh, and it is GPL).

You'll find it here:
	http://www.jesse.de/shtml/download.shtml#kolab
or respectively:
	http://www.jesse.de/download/20060607.iKolab-Tools.tgz

You need the script named 'readkolab.pl' out of this tarball; the 
documentation is german only (sorry, not time, no time ...) an you'll 
have to install following perl-modules:
     * Mail::IMAPClient
     * IO::Socket::SSL
     * XML::Parser

Syntax is basically (for reading your standard-calendar):

perl readkolab.pl -server yourServerHostnameOrIP -port 993 -user 
yourUsername -pass "yourPassInDoubleQuotes" -eventfolder 
"INBOX/Calendar" -taskfolder "off" -file yourOutputfile.ics

If you can read the calendar-data directly out of the IMAP-server, this 
should do the job.
