2.6.1 supports caldav - which as far as I can fathom out is like webdav,
but sufficiently not like it that anything works as you'd expect.  From
experience I would say that caldav uses similar net protocols to webdav
(but not compatible) and it stores the data in multiple .ics files (one
for each appt) rather than one big one like iCal.

I'm actually quite peeved about it all - I specifically asked a while
ago if 2.6 supported iCal over webdav and the answer was an unequivocal
'yes'. See:

So having waited patiently for 2.6 to come out, it was quite
disappointing to find that it didn't work.

To get read/write web based calendars on Evo, you need to use caldav -
'On the Web' calendars are read only.
