calendar via imap - kmail/korganizer

Fri Jan 29, 2016 12:10 pm
Hi,

I try to access a calendar via IMAP following https://docs.kde.org/trunk5/en/kdepim/korganizer/managing-data.html. Under „Calendar on IMAP Server via KMail“ a groupware tab is mentioned. However, it is not available in my installations, neither under KMail 4.14.3 (Kubuntu 14.04 with kubuntu-ppa-backports) nor under KMail 5.0.3 (Kubuntu 15.10 kubuntu-ppa-backports). I wonder, if that feature is just not available in general (yet?) or if that is just something distribution dependent (like I am simply missing a package or the package is not build).

The groupware tab is available to me, but I'm using a specific Kolab resource. Are you using Kolab, or another solution? If the former, you'll need libkolab and libkolabxml installed, and instead of the regular IMAP account, you need to add a Kolab account.

I am not using a Kolab resource but a regular IMAP resource configured to store mails offline as well (what used to be called disconnected IMAP iirc). The IMAP-Server I am connecting to is an exchange one and has a folder with calendar information.

To test, I added a Kolab ressource and configured it to connect to the exchange IMAP server. I needed to disallow sieve, as otherwise the connection was refused. While the resource did fetch the mails like the regular IMAP resource, the groupware tab did not show up, neither did the calendar in korganizer. libkolab (libkolab1 1.0.0-0ubuntu1) and libkolabxml (libkolabxml1v5 1.1.1-3) are installed.

The Kolab resource only works with Kolab Groupware servers. Unfortunately I don't have access to any other type of server so I'm not sure what should be done here.
