I guess my only other question is about the unique IDs that are assigned 
to (for example) each event in an .ics file.  Will there be an easily 
determined correlation between e-mail IDs and these IDs to be able to 
figure out that a calendar client on a cellphone (or evolution or any 
other supported client plugin for MultiSync) currently has a message 
that no longer appears on the kolab server and should be deleted from 
the phone.  I guess I'm wondering why the event in the cellphone would 
not be added back to the server instead of being deleted from the phone.

With regards to the wrong assumption stated above, I suppose I will need 
to find a correlation between IMAP messages and "items" or "events" in 
MultiSync, since my plugin will really be some sort of translation layer 
between the kolab server and MultiSync.

Thanks.
