Just an update. It seems that the order in which things are done when setting things up is crucial. At this point my client box can see the calendar and my addressbook, though for some reason I am not getting the updates just as I should. Once all this is worked out and corrected I'll write up a how-to and put it on my web space. For Charles - I've used kmail for more than 6 years, and kmail with dovecot for over two. I've never had the slightest problem with imap mail. I, too, have read many stories, mostly about dimap. Very many of them have turned out to be pebcak. I'm not saying it's perfect: it's not. Many things are work-around for old code. When akonadi is the backend things will be a great deal better. It's designed for the purpose from the start, whereas kmail's current backend has just grown over several years and some of the original developers are no longer around. I depend heavily on kde-pim. It suits me perfectly. One version had a habit of losing the addressbook for no obvious reason, but since it always had backup copies it was more of an annoyance than show-stopper. That's the only time I've ever had any problems whatsoever. Anne
