You are right, I remember years ago we used a Portuguese Debian installation.

The calendar itself is there but some events do not show and the  
calendar cannot be exported.

I will increase Horde logging level and will check for Sql errors.

Newly created users are OK.

There is no point exporting/importing for those that are having  
problem, but will do for those that are not having problem. The idea  
is to export whatever data can be exported, start a new empty database  
and import back the data. When I say export I mean via Horde (ics,  
csv, vcard, icalendar) or via mysql for those that are OK.

I will make an effort, but I am far from being a PHP programmer.

Thak you, Villius.
