True, for the tasks module in the web client, that's a missing feature.
I just created a ticket for it:
https://issues.kolab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3908

And notes are not synched with CalDAV, only via Activesync.

The following curl command might help:

curl -s -XPROPFIND \
  http://localhost/iRony/calendars/john.doe@example.org/ \
  -u "john.doe at example.org:12345" \
  -H "Content-Type: text/xml" \
  -H "Depth:1" \
  -d '<D:propfind xmlns:D="DAV:">
  <D:prop>
    <D:displayname/>
    <D:resourcetype/>
    <B:supported-calendar-component-set
xmlns:B="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/>
    <B:supported-calendar-component-sets
xmlns:B="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav"/>
  </D:prop>
  </D:propfind>' | tidy -xml -i=4

Replace john.doe at example.org with your username and adjust the url
according to your environment.

Task folders are listed with <cal:comp name="VTODO" /> and the URL can
be found in the <d:href /> node.

With Kolab 3.3 / Cyrus 2.5 these folder uuids are already stored in IMAP
annotations. For older versions, they're generated on the first access
on the calendar listing via CalDAV.

The kolab shell utility can help you read them:

$ kolab list-mailboxes 'user/john.doe*@example.org'
$ kolab list-mailbox-metadata user/john.doe/Tasks at example.org

Look for /shared/vendor/cmu/cyrus-imapd/uniqueid or
/shared/vendor/kolab/uniqueid annotations.


Best,
