import iCalendar: all events lose their actual owner?

We are migrating calendar events from a previous

installation of a different software into SunJES. While

I've eventually got the ical file screwed up enough so

both, the Web frontend as well as csimport do accept my

file, I encounter two problems:

First, the organizer's email address is either completely

lost (when importing via csimport), or replaced by my own

address (when importing from the Web frontend), even though

the icalendar file contains the correct addresses (including

the X-S1CS-EMAIL blurb). Why's that?

Even worse, all imported events (regardless of which import

method has been used) are no longer owned by me, so

I can display them but not change them anymore. When

I re-export them into an .ics file, I can still see my cn=

as ORGANIZER, but no email address is attached at all.

This is all regardless of which method has been used to

produce the icalendar file, even files produced by the

Web frontend's export function or by csexport experience

the same behaviour.

How to export/import events in a way to not lose any

related information?

Well, after a few hours more of experimenting, we've been

successful now.

It turns out that you cannot import anything into another

calendar than your default one. While experimenting with

the import, we've always been using a different calendar

for testing (so it could easily be destroyed again using

cscal). However, in that case, you can never get the

ID of the owner of a calendar event to match your calid,

which apparently is the basic requirement for the software

to actually accept the event as your own one.
