As concepts we currently have kolabwizard and KDE Kiosk,
having more ways for the KDE Kolab Client on Windows would be nice.

Setting KDEHOME should work, but this would change the while .kde position.
Hmm, maybe you could file a wish for this one.

Looks like a defect, please file an issue.
(Note that the LDAP-Resource is not a top priority function of a Kolab-Client
currently.)

I don't think that there is a tool, but it should be fairly easy to write a
tool to throw the additional binary attachments away.

The binary blobs possibly contain extra data that Outlook uses, but the core
of the information must be in the Kolab-XML as well, otherwise the client
is violating the specs and is not compatible with Kolab anymore.
