I thought for a moment that we had cracked it.  First I followed your 
instructions to get the addresses into the new account, then I created a new 
Calendar account and imported the old one.  At that point it was looking 
good.  On the server box, with the local account entries un-checked I could 
see my addressbook and my calendar.  Great.

Then to a client box.  I have created the account and got the additional 
folders created, but every time I try to connect to the server I get 
a 'connection closed unexpectedly' message.  I don't think it's a firewall 
issue, since I have reached my mailbox from outside.  SELinux is not creating 
any errors in the log.  I have tried giving the new account 'groupware' as 
the user and its password, and also using my own name and password.  Neither 
work.  All I see is a blank addressbook and blank calendar.

I have a feeling that we are doing this entirely the wrong way on the client 
boxes.  If we use fish to import and merge the calendar it would create a 
local copy, but I can't see how it would ever update.

I'll give it some more thought.  Maybe what I've said will give you some new 
ideas too.
