I've added the #OLKCON_USE_MIMEDIR macro
to otlkcon_config.h . If set to 1 the
MIMEDIR methods should be used otherwise
the ICalExport() and ICalImport() methods
are used. The default is 0, so this
should break things for now.
The task is really to complete ICalImport()
and ICalExport() methods in O_IMessage
class. ICalExport() walks through the
IMessage object's properties and converts
the ones it can to iCalendar formatted
strings. ICalImport() converts the
iCalendar formatted strings to MAPI
properties.
For your testing, I guess you can set the
macro to 1 to continue with MIMEDIR.

It's been a while, but I have seen the
MIMEDIR stuff choke on a lot of valid
iCalendar. I'm working on getting my
testing environment back up, so I'll
take a look at it then.
