On the server, CentOS 5.1.

Dovecot serves my mail without a problem.  I am trying to get 'IMAP Resources' 
in KMail working - that is, my Calendar and Addressbook also served up.

I have tried several methods as suggested by various people on the kdepim 
list, with various types of failure.  The end result in all the efforts is 
that groupware folders are created, but it is not possible to import my 
calendar, for instance.  I'm told that there is no writable folder so the 
import can not be saved.  I've tried making them world-writable, to see 
whether it was a permissions problem, but it appears not.

At one point I did manage an import, but I could find no way of seeing the 
result from a client box.

Absolutely nothing.  It didn't appear to notice.

I have been working on this for several days, taking advice from anywhere I 
can.  Timo tells me that he doesn't think it's a dovecot problem, since my 
mail is working properly, so I guess I will just have to go back to the 
kdepim list.
