Kolab, Toltec and Outlook
I wrote this documentation while trying to setup a working groupware
calendaring solution.
It is basically a log of this process, including the problems that I
came across,
and how I solved it, often with help
from helpful people from the associated projects.
I hope this text can help other people who will have the same problems.
Some portions of this text are tailored for the server environment
(SLS) of OM, the organisation that I work for.

functionality.
Toltec Connector is a commercial plugin for Microsoft Outlook and
connects Kolab
and Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook is a commercial software and part of the Microsoft
Office Suite.
You will need about 300 - 500 MB for the whole Kolab installation.
