Hi!
opening an element of the kolab2 groupware contacts folder this message is shown.
*****
This is a Kolab Groupware object.
To view this object you will need an email client that can understand the Kolab Groupware format.
*****
IMHO kmail could/should display the content, or the message( of Kolab2 ) whould be different.

BTW the shared folder is automagically added to the kaddressbook resource list

Yeah, we recently changed that, those messages used to not display anything, 
which I thought was also bad.

Rendering the contents isn't trivial, but doable. What would you suggest, for 
the message?

That's expected, though, right?

IMHO it shoud say

"These special groupware objects are intended to be only displayed in groupware-enabled Addressbook and Calendar application"

Browsing the backup of my phone calendar and addressbook with konquer a popup with the most important information of the vcards is shown, may be this programm could work in kmail too?

Obsolete in 4.6, Kolab mail folders are no longer visible in KMail.
