Would be great!

It should actually not be too hard to write a tool if you use the  
standard "Prefs" module from Horde  
(http://cvs.horde.org/framework/Prefs/). You will need to initiate it  
once with the standard "kolab" driver backend, read and serialize the  
prefernces of each user and pipe them back into the preferences  
system, this time using the "file" driver.

As I mentioned in that issue I cannot use the patch as you provided it  
at the moment. It is a good idea in general but for structural reasons  
such a functionality belongs into the Kolab_Server package.  
Specifically into  
http://cvs.horde.org/framework/Kolab_Server/lib/Horde/Kolab/Session.php.

Your initHorde() function should be added in the initial session setup  
(function Horde_Kolab_Session()). And it needs to use the standard  
preferences setup in order to inject the configurations into the  
preferences system. You hardcoded the injection into LDAP. If you  
place it into the Session manager and just use the general Preferences  
interface you will be able to initiate the Preference whatever backend  
driver is being used ("ldap", "file", or "kolab_imap").

I'm writing this so that if you invest the effort in updating it it  
could be really added directly.

Both should be fixed in the newer release. I probably should have  
marked them as such in the release-notes.txt when I set both issues to  
"testing". I missed that because I did not need to do anything for  
them. They have been fixed in the upstream release anyway so all they  
need are some testing. I'm pretty certain Thomas will add them to the  
release-notes.txt ones they have been checked and move to state  
"resolved".

Cheers,

Gunnar
