Many years ago IMAP calendars were possible without using Kolab. The 
generic "Groupware" feature died either with the switch to KDE 4 or with 
the switch to Akonadi. Hmm, or it died with the switch to the new Kolab 
XML format. Anyway, it's gone since a long time. Nowadays, the Kolab 
resource is the only way for storing a calendar in an IMAP folder.
