The magic is to use your backup.

If you don't have a backup, you have much work to do, i.e. manually
setting all desired annotations after moving away the broken
annotations.db:

# /kolab/bin/cyradm --user manager localhost
mboxcfg user/theuser/theCalendarFolder at example.com /vendor/kolab/folder-type event
...

It is usually possible to salvage some data from the broken db by
dumping it to a different format, but certainly not all.

Alternatively just recreate any groupware folder using a Kolab client.

Please contact the Kolab Konsortium if you (or the above mentioned
someone) need professional support with this.
