Basically yes, I currently plan to put this info together with some other=20

No, we allow for shared calendars via a shared IMAP folder.

The entry gets duplicated in this case.

No, we dont have the typical db problems. The semantic is very much differe=
nt.=20
E.g. there is no semantic to move or modify a message. Only copy and delete.

is used for personal and shared contact data.
