DAV Collection Management
*************************

Calendars and addressbooks are maintained as "Collections" within the
Cyrus mail store.  They appear as mailboxes within the heirarchy, as
set by the "calendarprefix:" option in imapd.conf(5) (default is
"#calendars"), but should rarely be directly manipulated using either
cyradm(8) or other mailbox-centric tools.

Collections have special attributes, so should be created and
maintained either through protocol -- i.e. with purpose-built calendar
or address book clients -- or with the provided web GUI.

To access the Cyrus web GUI for CalDAV Collection Management, point a
web browser at https://<servername>/dav/calendars/user/%3Cusername%3E

For example:

   https://myserver:8008/dav/calendars/user/bovik/

Using the CalDAV GUI, one may:

   * Create new collections, with whichever components are required

   * Alter existing collections with different components

   * Subscribe or Download existing collections via prepared URLs

   * Set visibility attributes such as Public or Transparent

   * Delete existing collections

Similarly, for addressbook management, use a URL of the form
https://<servername>/dav/addressbooks/user/%3Cusername%3E

For example:

   https://myserver:8008/dav/addressbooks/user/bovik/

Using the CardDAV GUI, one may:

   * Create new collections

   * Delete existing collections

   * Download existing collections via prepared URLs
