[Kde-pim] PEBKAC or bug in Calendar listing?

Hi all,

Not sure whether I am just too stupid, so please bear with me.


Initial Situation: 

I get notifications for events for all sorts of calendars that I have read 
access to as long as I am subscribed to them on the server. Most of those 
notifications are false alerts, since only five of these 50 calendars are 
actually my personal ones and should provide me with such notifications.


Attempted Fix:

Right click on every single calendar, Folder properties, Block reminders 
locally. Worked like charm, finally I only get my own reminders. Only that now:


New Problem:

All calendars for which I have done this are no longer visible in my list of 
calendars, while still being server-side subscribed. I also can no longer 
select them for placing new events, which is almost equally annoying.

That means it's now "single person ware" rather than "groupware" :-P


The whole thing looks like it is a local subscription to the folder that was 
turned off, not just the alerts were suppressed. In fact, when I look at one of 
the folders in the Akonadi console, I find it in the IMAP section, but no 
longer among the Kolab folders.

And when looking at the Attributes of the IMAP folder, I find an attribute 
names "BlockAlarmsAttribute" that is empty, but does not exist for the other 
folders. So perhaps that is what does the trick?

Deleted that attribute, no cigar. Folder still invisible. Be that as it may, 
the Local Subscriptions dialog in the Akonadi Console doesn't show me anything 
however. 

So I wonder: Is there some magic "only show folders from which you would get 
alarms" or "manage local subscription of calendar" setting somewhere that I 
have just managed to blatantly overlook?

Best regards,
Georg
