Creating users resource folders without Kontact - is it possible?

[YANQ IT Support]

Hi There,

A little while ago I asked if it was possible to create users resource 
folders (esp for contacts and calendars) without using Kontact.

This is for a server (running Debian squeeze) which I have inherited. 
I've discovered that the kolab server was originally installed using the 
'native' debian packages (i.e. apt-get, not openpkg). This is why the 
web-client isn't creating the folders for me - it's just a normal 
installation of horde, not the one that comes with kolab (openpkg version).

So, two questions:

1. Has anyone had any experience installing the OpenPkg version Kolab 
over the top of the experimental Debian packages? It seems like it might 
be a very tricky exercise and I'm not sure I have the time, resources or 
enough knowledge about kolab to try it.

2. Can I write, or is there already a script, that will create the 
resource folders for users for me?

I'm guessing it's possible because Bernhard Reiter wrote:

All of my users access their mail and calendars using thunderbird / 
lightning both in the office and on their laptops (outside the office). 
So fixing the web-client isn't that important at the moment.

Cheers,

David
