Our experience here is mixed. The outlook clients interpret correctly 
everything sent from Kmail and Kmail interprets correctly outlooks replies, 
for instance to meeting invitations. However, Kmail doesn't interpret 
correctly invitations generated by outlook 2000 in NT4, while it has no 
problems with invitations from outlook XP in win XP. Anybody had similar 
experiences? 

In our case only the linux machines are conected to kolab, while the windows 
machines keep local copies of their calendars, and we are using beta 3 of the 
clients.
