Cool, thanks for the report.

The primary email address in Kolab Server must always work as login.
It is possible to have other email addresses and possibly you can also log in 
with a different uid, but this is the reason that Kolabwizard only needs the 
primary email address. And we wanted to keep stuff simple.

This is intentional because we cannot securely detect which accounts 
should be removed. Therefore kolabwizard only adds account data which works 
best if the user is new.

From the theoretical point of view it should be possible to just create new 
users for testing purposes.

Are your settings okay in the client, then you can see .ifb requests in the 
apache log.

Try the apple key and mouse button.

Yes, for a problem report on this particular item 
we would need to get detailed data.

Sure, if the other person gives you permissions to see one or more of their 
calender folders, it will just be shown in the calendar view.
(You can choose all four views: a) combined, b) side by side c) horizontal d) 
monthly.)

Best,
