[Kde-pim] kontact and MS Exchange almost 100% working via OWA with davmail

[Divan Santana]

Hi All,

I got MS exchange almost working 100%.

Only problem I'm having is if one makes any changes in kontact to the exchange 
calendar, it is not pushing the updates back to the exchange server, ie the 
calendar is one way sync only it seems at the moment.

Is this just me, or everyone else as well? Any ideas on what we can do to try 
fix it? It's so close to fixing/workaround to a big bug 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=78629 

My details and howto.
I'm using kdepim 4.6.1.
This all requires OWA enabled on server.
