I'm happy to help where I can, however I'm not very familiar with development under Windows (I primarily work with GNU/Linux), this is the first time I've used Visual Studio to any great degree and my knowledge of MAPI is only what I've picked up from playing with otlkcon, so I don't know how much use I'll be. > What 'wire' protocol would Kolab speak? > is it documented? Kolab works by storing simple XML documents on an IMAP server. Unfortunately it does depend on a draft IMAP extension (ANNOTATEMORE), which is only provided by a small number of IMAP libraries and servers. The specification for the Kolab file format is available from http://www.kolab.org and of course the IMAP protocol is widely documented. I'm using the open source IMAP c-client library with otlkcon to provide IMAP support (with ANNOTATEMORE), I have things working to the extent where otlkcon will happily retrieve Kolab calendar messages from the IMAP server and parse a few of their details in to iCal strings for otlkcon to then convert in to Mapi objects. Unfortunately this incompatibility with Outlook 2007 prevents me from going much further, but once this is solved it should be fairly trivial to finish up the parsing for all elements and implement message writing. Once this is completed there are some further changes I'd like to try making it possible to have multiple calendars created from a single account (if this isn't already possible), because with a Kolab system it's normal for users to share quite a few calendars with one another or to have globally shared calendars (simply a matter of setting IMAP ACLs on the respective mailboxes). Any input on this is of course welcome.
