Hi Gerald, 

I just had a quick look and I can't find where to put the URL (it has been 
many years since I used it and was eventually abandoned).  Looking at the 
synckolab doco it seems that sync kolab does not do free busy, nor does 
lightning.

There is free/busy addon:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/freebusy/
which does work with .ifb format.  I have not tested this.

Cheers

Mark
