When I add folders to either my IMAP or dIMAP account by using the  
"Add Subfolder" context menu, the dialog window looks like the  
attached picture. In the "Folder contains:" drop down list, you can  
choose from "Mail","Calender" etc.

It sounds like you are almost there! Lets try to get the address book  
working. Activate Contacts -> Settings -> Show Extension -> Address  
Books. What does it show? In my setup it shows the following tree:

imap address book (which is just the name of the imap resouce)
|
|_ <dIMAP account name>[/<Folder names>]/Contacts

If the second branch is not showing up, somehow the IMAP resource  
doesn't know which folders to use. This might be remedied by assigning  
the correct contents type to the groupware folders as I explained  
above, but that's just a guess.

Cheers,

Andreas
