Your advice is well taken. I will do the IMAP first. I will have to
acquaint myself with the calendaring.
Calendar functions would support the ability of members of your site
reviewing calendars of other members and scheduling meetings with them
via e-mail. This would be the equivalent of groupware apps like
Outlook/Exchange and Lotus Notes.

Thanks for the point to IETF. I have subscribed to iCalendar list and
will work from their baseline to see how it works. I did not succeed
in finding Address Book functionality, though. If it's there, please
let me know. If not, I'll see if I can get one started.
I think that address book maintenance is VITAL to any mail
application. Mail simply isn't that useful without it. I feel that
this would be an important addition to JAMES. I would be interested
in other opinions on this.
LDAP is probably the already existing protocol used to share an
"address book"/"contact list".
ApacheDS provides this feature.
Calendar functions have always been integrated in mail applications
and you need e-mail to send out invitations to a meeting. While
technically, this does not belong in a mail client, you mail-client
has to hand off to a calendar server and you still have to build this
in, so why not build in the calendar function? JAMES already supports
4 protocols. I would be interested in hearing other thoughts about this.
What does this "calendar protocol" do?
How does it work?

PS: I see you are writing that you can help with IMAP4/iCAL/definition
of new standards and more. Isnt't it too much to start? Maybe it is
better to work on a single issue at a time.
