Hi,

thank you for your feedback. I am aware of the cosmetic problems, my focus was 
on the functionality. Unfortunately, I am not a horde expert and did not have 
the time to work in the details of the user interface implementation. The 
missing newline could probably be added together with the still missing 
translations for the configuration item.
As far as I remember, the encoded URLs did not appear with the horde version 
delivered with kolab 2.2.2, there was some change in the horde calendar 
implementation that I was not aware of. A simple replace of a function call 
is required to fix that, and it should not be too difficult, as the combo box 
shows the correct names and the function name can be copied from that. I will 
implement it if I find some time.

Unfortunately I do not know of any possibility to sync the ldap address book, 
nor do I have any idea whether it is an easy modification to turba or not.

Best regards
Heiner
