If I am not totally senile, than this "everything is a message" 
world of IMAP maps very well to the Exchange worldview, where 
everything (be it email message, one appointment in calendar, 
todo task, note, etc.) is a message with inheritance to the 
common message object (and stored in the database backend as 
such).

For the related issue, see kmail which can do this "store 
calendar on IMAP" pretty well (and yes it stores individual 
appointments as IMAP messages).

Best,

Matej
