From the concept side I do not see how this could work reliably.
In order to read a folder, any client would need the users credentials
which should only be kept in memory as long as the client is active.
A cron job is another client and it dies not have the credentials to access 
the folder of any user.

(And we should move the implementation details to the kolab-devel@ list.)
