Please have a look at http://kroupware.org/architecture-1.1/x154.html

"The KDE clients store free-busy lists using WebDAVs and read free-busy 
information via HTTPS on the Kolab server."

"Windows Clients must store their free-busy lists via anonymous FTP on the 
server, for historical reasons. For lookup of the free-busy lists, HTTP is 
used by the Outlook/Bynari Clients. In this project we look not further into 
this drawback. Instead, a so-called legacy mode is provided on the Kolab 
server. Using this compatibility mode the dedicated storage area for 
free-busy lists on the Kolab server is also accessible via anonymous FTP 
(upload own free-busy list) and HTTP (retrieving all free-busy lists). This 
is an optional setting that will be disabled by default.


The logic behind the calendar events and their handling is entirely done by 
the client applications. The server mainly acts as a network storage in this 
regard."
