Yes, you are right. This needs to fixed at some point. Right now we
still assume that the free/busy part lives on the IMAP server. This
will probably remain like this for Kolab-2.2 but at some point I think
we should be able to relocate the whole f/b-System if required and
this would then need to be configurable.

Ups... Thanks a lot. I broke that with my last commit when I tried to
fix some other errors.

Hope my last CVS commit fixes this.

No, if remember it correctly the entry is mandatory. I would have to
check again but maybe you have a hint why this is missing in the cache
files?

Cheers,

P.S.: Thanks for reading and correcting the code!
