CONFIRMED in Hardy.

I am trying to set up an IMAP resource to company mandated Exchange 2003 server. Unfortunately, I bet more than a few of us have the problem :( It would be good if the groupwarewizard were updated to handle this as well.

RESOLUTION

0. Make sure Kontact and Korganizer Reminder Daemon (in the system tray) are shutdown

1. Edit Edit ~/.kde/share/config/kmailrc

2. Copy the the IMAP account ID from early in the file. In the example below, we see Id=7134808189

[Account 1]
...
Folder=7134808189
Id=7134808189
...
Type=cachedimap
...

3. Change the IMAP resource section as below:

[IMAP Resource]
Enabled=true
Folder Language=0
HideGroupwareFolders=false
TheIMAPResourceAccount=7134808189
TheIMAPResourceEnabled=true
TheIMAPResourceFolderParent=7134808189
TheIMAPResourceStorageFormat=IcalVcard

4. (optional) Adjust the location of the Groupware folders through the Kmail GUI: Kmail Settings -> Misc -> Groupware.
By default, they we be under the root IMAP folder (which is fine with me).

METHODOLOGY
This solution was determined by setting up a bogus Kolab 1 account using the groupwarewizard, and then diff-ing the kmailrc file to the original.

OTHER NOTES
Once set up, the calendar works nicely, although I use it as a read-only resource since Exchange historically does not play well with Kontact for setting appointments.
I might test for read-write in a bit.
