I asked some cats in IRC's #linuxhelp chan and they stated that it's not supported under regular IMAP, that I would need something like OpenExchange or Open-Xchange in order to get that portion to work.
After googling around, that's when I noticed there aren't that many free alternatives, the few that are, are so limited and restricted to i386 machines only [closed source unless you pay]. Will L G

I tried to enter a contact on my IMAP server and received an error from Outlook stating that the Contacts formatting was too complex and thus couldn't be saved.
I went ahead and swung my box over to MailDir and scrapped Sendmail for Postfix [for maildir support], I was wondering, would this issue continue? In other words, by swinging over to MailDir, would Dovecot be able to handle Outlook's Contacts information? Will L G
contacts via imap? oO
Apparently 'tis possible. From the Courier-IMAP list:
"Good news, everyone!" -- Prof. H. Farnsworth
Insight Connector for Courier-IMAP is a commercial plugin for Microsoft OutlookT that allows native Outlook groupware capabilities using Courier-IMAP. Outlook users can perform tasks typically available only when using the Exchange server, including folder sharing. Some of the features include folder sharing, public folders sharing, appointments/tasks scheduling, real-time data management, calendar sharing and other collaborative tasks.
A trial version of Connector can be downloaded from http://courier.bynari.net. This software is supported by Bynari.
