Kolabd is not running - it does not get started on system boot. This might be because the startup script does not seem to be linked into rc5.d:
# ls /etc/rc5.d/*kolab*
K10kolabd  S65kolab-saslauthd

When I start kolabd manually, I get
# /etc/init.d/kolabd start
Starting kolabd:                                                            [  OK  ]
Process KolabdProcess-1:

and afterwards

When creating a new user, again the mailbox does not get created - obviously, the above error is to be taken seriously.

I used to upload the contents of one of my calendars by uploading a full ics file to a special URL generated by Horde to allow ics up- and download of a single calendar. This can e.g. be done by adding an ics calendar in thunderbird, but can as well be used in scripts. I think the more correct name for this feature is "ics-feed".
Will such a thing be available with the new kolab? I regulary worked with the ics URLs to easily access and modify my calendar data...

Kind regards
