please check with thunderbird with normal (online) imap connection if 
the contact and calendar are in the corresponding Contact and 
Calendar folders on the dovecot server. If not, it is no wonder, that 
the client box can not see the data.

To get things right: you have added new contacts and appointments on 
the server box. These date are stored in your .kde directory and the 
content is shown in the addressbook and calendar respectively. So 
this part is OK.

So we have to make sure, the data are stored on the imap server as 
well (while/after hitting ctrl-l or check mails on all accounts in 
kmail). For this please use thunderbird to confirm the existence on 
your dovecot server.

Yes, I had strange behaviour with kmail if there is a second 
connection to the same user on the same server. May be this is the 
case for you too.
