Hi -

although this thread is old, I'd like to add some info and my experience:
First I can confirm that the synchronisation from the OWA server works, but 
that the upload of locally created events does not always work. Here is what I 
found out further:

1.Upload of events that do not have a time associated (i.e. whole day event) 
works, i.e. those events appear in the OWA calendar. Deleting the same event 
locally also works and is reflected in the OWA calendar.

2. Trying to create an event with an associated time triggers a long error 
message, the top saying "ErrorMimeContentConversionFailed". The full message 
is at http://paste.kde.org/125929/

Akonadi says 

AgentBase(akonadi_davgroupware_resource_2): Unable to add item: An unexpected 
error (503) occurred while attempting to upload 
http://<myaccount>@localhost:1080/users/<myemail>/calendar/146a813d-c4e8-4733-
a647-90caaf1aa727.ics.

The event stays in my local calendar but never appears on the OWA server.
 
3. As a test where the error might be, I tested using davmail and 
Thunderbird/Lightning Extension. Works without problems.

So my guess is that somehow the event that is generated by the resource is not 
conform either to the davmail protocol or the exchange protocol. But I am no 
expert.

I use 
KDE 4.7.1 from opensuse repos, akonadi-runtime is version 1.6.
Exchange Version I do not know (could check on Friday)

BTW: the kcaldav resource with kdepim 4.4.11 works also without problems 
(compiled from Google repo at http://code.google.com/p/kcaldav/), maybe that 
helps to find the problem.

Cheers
