Err, no that's not what I said. If you have eer used an Exchange server via
IMAP you would know that the Calendar folder does exist and contains
messages as I said - but they are not "complete" as I said.

Um, so individuals can store their own Contacts via LDAP? Wow... ;-}

That's really where I'm coming from. Currently the so-called standards
aren't up to this (please prove me wrong). LDAP is great for company-wide
addressbooks - but is crap for storing individuals addressbooks. And how
about sharing? What about calendaring? Yes there is a thing called iCal -
but where are the products that use it? All this will be sorted out in time,
but right now, if you want to have services that match Exchange and co,
you'll have to "do it your own way..."
