Nice one, I'd like to be able to do that too from python for our Zope / Plone 
portal.

The calendar is a IMAP box, so you need to use the imap module in python: 
http://docs.python.org/lib/module-imaplib.html

The calendar mailbox is just often called "Calendar" but could be different. 
The appointments are separate messages with an attachment in a specific XML 
format.

The xml format is described in: 
http://www.kolab.org/doc/kolabformat-2.0rc3-html/index.html

Keep us updated of your progress, I would be happy to help for this.

List: Is there any specific annotation on the mailbox that states it is a 
calendar?

Cheers,
