OK.

The 3.0 beta provides support for exporting to iCalendar, but it doesn't
always work correctly with recurring events. I tried looking through the
Outlook client code to find the problem, but I don't know Visual Basic
and from the little I can tell the code seems like a big tangle. Someone
from sync4j will probably fix it eventually.
