This is after 2.1.4 as far as I can see.
Feel free to also report to kolab-devel or open an issue about it.

We have fixed one source of problems for conflicts with 2.1.4,
there seems to be another one, though.

Two scenarios:
a) Kontact crashes and leaves bad appointments in the local cache
which get synced up.
b) Two people edit the same event simultaniously, the second person
to sync will get the conflict. This is correct behaviour. 

Or do you mean they get conflicts in folder where only one person 
has write access?

It could be worth a try to completly put .kde on a local drive.
I have not seen conflicts on folders where only person has write permissions.
