I think that's probably the problem.  I believe I set dovecot to simply use 
plain text authentication.  It can handle sasl, so I'll have to read up on 
that.

That's why I first thought of firewall and selinux.

What I did was to go to the resource section and set up a new one - Calendar 
on IMAP Server via KMail, which sets up an empty calendar.  I then used 
File -> Import to pull in a copy of my own organizer - remember that this is 
on the server.  According to the docs you then have right-click on the dimap 
resource folder and get Properties, where there is an Access tab.  There, 
apparently, you should be able to say who can see the resource.  This is 
theory, based on my understanding.  I have not yet been able to do it.

I rarely do :-)  And even then it's usually only for a time while I catch up 
on other things.
