I added a wish for that

See <https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue3588>.

Will do that tomorrow, when I can access the Win box again.

Dumb question: how is the Kolab user's (and distribution lists etc.)  
data base supposed to work, if not through LDAP?  Did I miss something?

Yeah, a rather simple perl script will do...  Just the question if  
there is something "official"... ;-)

At least for mdn's and for multipart/(signed|encrypted), Toltec seems  
to store the /real/ data in the binary tnef (see issue  
<https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue3229>), and it is not  
compatible with Horde or other standard mua's (didn't check Kontact  
yet).  MDN's are of less importance, but the ability to recover the  
original rfc822 stuff of rfc3156/2633 messages would be great.  Maybe  
I'll look into that if I have some time left...

Thanks, Albrecht.
