Sorry, I mean the KDE traditional calendar resource (std.ics).

Whenever I make a new calendar entry I can allow the entry to a default 
calendar (in this case the local, i.e.above) or another listed calendar 
(which could be my Google calendar or eGroupware calendar.

So, if I understand making an entry in the ical or std.ics calendar the 
entry should “automatically” show up in your Kolab example in the IMAP 
disconnected calendar.  Is that right?

To my way of thinking this should be true in the groupdav 
(caldav/carddav) option as well.  But my experience is that it does not 
happen.

Same here.  Every time I make a new entry I am asked which calendar 
or I can set a default in calendar settings.

Sort of.  It also raises more questions/confusion.  For mew I am 
expecting something like Outlook and active-sync with my old HP iPaq 
or for that matter my mobile phone and Google calendar in the Android 
world.  If I make an entry on either one they sync.  

Now I am looking for Kontact to be the main hub syncing Google, to 
eGroupware to mobile, to local.  I may be asking too much or I may have 
made my system too complicated.  Should I just have Google, or 
eGroupware be my calendar and use Kontact as a client to view that 
calendar?  The problem is I want Google for personal use and 
eGroupware for business.  And by having Kontact in between I have 
local backup of both.
