Tarjei, I have been thinking about this for a some time now. I think that it would be great to store *contacts*, and calendar on imap folders. As far as the question "does cyrus need to be modified?", I would hope that no modification would be necessary so that you could use any IMAP server. I would think that you would want to have the cal and contacts be a piece of the client only. For Example, I have been thinking that using mime (vCal or vCard) for use of storing contacts. Any email client could read any of your vCards and stuff, but if you had that certian client, you would be able to take better advantage of the information.
Is there a mailing list that I could join, so that I could listen to the development idea and stuff? thanks greg On Wed, Nov 14, 2001 at 11:21:11AM +0100, Tarjei Huse wrote: > Hi, > > Things are happening on the Calandering front.
