You definetly have a very valid point!

HTTP is scaling very well and is suitable to the task. The feature which =
makes=20
imap4 better scalable for groupware is that we do not want to retrieve al=
ways=20
the full calendar but we want to be a little bit more smart like scanning=
=20
headers only and beeing fully offline capable.

compared to imap4 http is extremly simple and therefor we would need to u=

server side protocoll on top of http in order to gain the features we wan=
t.
