So I understand the difference of disconnected impa and plain imap. But 
what is the reason to force the use of disconnected imap for using 
groupware functionality? 

As an example: On our company (and at my home server) the fileserver 
(where the home dir lives) and the mailserver are identical. So, if I 
want to use groupware functionality, kmail have to copy all the mails 
(with all those mailing list they get up to about 1 Gig) from the 
server to my home dir. The question is why? I see the advantages for 
road warriors, but for the others?
