I would not subscribe the Inbox anyway - I don't want all the mails 
duplicating.  I just want the contacts and calendar from my own account to be 
served up.

I'm close to despair, Martin.  I've tried three times to get this kolab wizard 
to set things up for me, each time taking your latest information as my 
guide.  The resource folders are just not being created, or if they are I 
can't see them (and no, I don't have Hide set).  Resources are created in 
Calendar and Contacts, but if I try to import information I am told that 
there is no writable folder for them.

I'm going to try again, removing the kolab stuff, and trying the original way 
of getting groupware folders.  At least I got that far with them last 
time :-)

Later -

Well, using the groupware setup, folders have been created, but not until I 
did a check-mail.  That has resulted in all my Inbox mail being copied over - 
which I didn't want.  Inbox is not checked on the subscribe list.

I then turned to the calendar page, and attempted to import my calendar into 
the groupware one.  I got 'No writable resource was found, saving will not be 
possible. Reconfigure KMail first.'

I'm close to giving up, much as I hate to do so.

Anne
