[horde] Automatic kolab resource creation and some other questions

[Gunnar Wrobel]

Hi Mark!

I am not certain which version of Horde you are currently using with
Kolab. There has been a lot of changes that improved Kolab support
within Horde during the last months which are only available if you
are using Horde CVS or the recent Horde 3.2 Alpha release. 

I'll answer based on the newest version but this might not apply if
you use an older version.

This seems incorrect. The addressbooks should be identified by a
specific IMAP annotation.

# /kolab/bin/cyradm -user manager localhost
# info user/test3/Adressen at pardus.de
{user/test3/Adressen at pardus.de}:
...
  folder-type: contact.default

"folder-type: contact" marks a normal contact folder and the
".default" suffix marks the current default folder.

You should be able to add new addressbooks within Horde using the
standard addressbook management page.

Hm, strange. This is not the case for me on the newest version.

The Kolab backend should support listing users since the underlying
ldap backend does. I did not check in detail though.
