Well, I've found it in caldavprotocol.cpp:34

	QString startTime = 
QDateTime::currentDateTimeUtc().addMonths(-3).toString("yyyyMMddTHHMMssZ");

I don't think it's a good practice to hardcode such values. Given you have a 
calendar in a DAV resource and you intend using it for the first time with 
KOrganizer, you don't have a chance to get all events. There should be at 
least an option to override that limit temporarily.

I could work around it by setting the system date back in the past, but after 
the date has been refetched from a NTP server, I've lost all older events in 
the DAV resource again. :-(

Best regards,
Andreas
