Add support for IMAP METADATA backend #73

Closed somecallmemike closed 11 years ago

somecallmemike commented 11 years ago

The folks at Kolab have developed an interesting model for storing cal, card, task, etc. information using the METADATA extension of IMAP, you can read about it here: https://wiki.kolab.org/Kolab_3.0_Storage_Format

This approach is compelling as it centralizes all the storage of data along with the user's messages, and allows authentication to happen against one system. Considering you can also use the METADATA backend using the Kolab roundcube plugins there is already support for this backend in an open source webmail client.

A good source for code would be the roundcube plugins which interface with the IMAP METADATA extension located here: http://www.kolab.org/content/roundcubemail-plugins-kolab

Looks like there are quite a few issues that are not acknowledged, is this project dead?

This seems quite useless? Kolab already has a ActiveSync server http://www.kolab.org/about/syncroton
