> a webclient needs to implement offline IMAP to be useful with Kolab

Why would that be needed?
The webserver is part of the Kolab service it has direct (over loopback interface) access to the other services such as the IMAP server.

Because its part of the Kolab concept for clients, read it? Besides the IMAP4 protocol doesn't allow for range queries (like gimme all events from this monday to friday) as required for a web calendaring client, so live access is a no-go.

    No, that's why I was asking.
    Might still be possible without, usually clients are on a remote machine where reducing network operations matters.

    Well, unless I am complete mistaken on what offline IMAP is, it is still IMAP, only using a local cache. All the query logic has still to be implemented on top of that.

    So my guess is that caching greatly improves performance but is not necessarily required (technically).
