there writes :

"- Valid user accounts maintained in an htpasswd file located in
/etc/http/auth/calendar.passwd. "

hey, we could use an LDAP server for auth, right?

Secondly, IMAP server are capable of fetching and storing remote files,
when you make it think its a mailbox.
Why we would need another server just for this?

I think if somebody uses at full extent the email protocols and with a
bit of intelligence, you can build interesting backend servers.

i attach this link  http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2060.txt, and see how
easy is to do that.
