Actually, the procedure was as follows:
  Outlook 2007. Install Toltec's connector.
  Open PST file. Rename all folders to be imported. "Calendar" ->
"IMPORT Calendar"
  Reset user's password. (We handed out individual "initial passwords"
with the last paycheck.)
  Connect PST file with Kolab mailbox
  Synchronize.
  Disconnect.
  Contact user: "Done. Please change your password soonish."

Our Kolab server is hosted off-site. PST files of six GB will take about
3,5 to 5 hours on an 10/10 Mbps line.

There will be residue messages - appointments and similar - which will
not be fully imported, but we're quite happy with Toltec's simplicity
and performance. Some of our users would like not to stop using Outlook.
If they persist :-), we will be buying some (more) licenses. Toltec's
done a good job and the connector's fair priced.

The user did not insist (yet) on his old calendar being re-enabled. He
argued: "Those are all things of the past" ;-) On the other hand, after
I read this thread, I guess I will tweak - again - PHPs memory
management and give it another shot. memory_limit was already at 64M.
