Hi Helge!

Yes, basically it was your thread I was talking about, although it  
might not have come clear.

Both parties had good arguments there, I think. Why changing a  
standard-compliant implementation, only because others don't implement  
it correctly? Why porting software to Linux and insisting on a certain  
approach when there is no client supporting it? CalDAV may just be too  
complicated…

By the way, a workaround could be to disable CalDAV scheduling via  
inbox altogether, and make DCS use iMiP also for known local users.  
iMiP seems to work fine in both, iCal and Lightning. Is there a way of  
doing that?

Unfortunately I also don't expect sunbird/lighning to support DCS's  
urn schemes soon. It is just not common enough, and they are already  
short on developers. :-(

Regards,
Markus
