It's crashing reproducible on German W2K SP4 when I quit Aethera. Sometimes 
it crashes when switching to another message or another older. There is the 
known message box stating that it crashed at address bla-bla. Do you want 
me to provide this address? I actually don't think that this could help you 
in any way. So, please tell me what I can do for you.

No, it's not about LDAP. I've many addresses in the IMAP folder named 
contacts. I can see them as messages when I select this folder in the 
MailCenter. I can see the attached vcard in the messages. When I try to 
open them, Aethera starts a cmd window (huh?) on my system. Perhaps I'm 
missing an association for .vct files, but it's somehow surprising. :-)

Well, switching to the AddressBook gives me a tree: Contacts--Kolab--Kolab. 
RMB on each Kolab node gives a popup menu containing Kolab Synchronization 
and New Contact. Selecting Kolab Synchronization results in nothing (i.e. I 
can't see anything happen).

Nevertheless, I start to like Aethera. It's a real alternative to the 
Outlook plugins. It will take a while to polish the rough edges of this 
first Kolab enabled release, but that's something I can live with.
