I'm failing to see the issue;  if you upload 10 ics files to a Group
folder the read access team id will be set to the id of the team and the
appointments will all appear in the folder.  Of course you may end up
with duplicates if the the appointment appears in more than one ics
file.

Not certain if it would solve this specific problem;  folders in
ZideLook and ZideStore behave the same way.  I have the Zidelook plugin,
it seems to work OK;  I just don't get the big *wow* factor of Outlook's
calendar.  I think it is a pretty lame calendar compared to what some
other applications provide.

You should be able to move appointments between folders,  but using the
groups folder I *think* an appointment will only appear in one folder
(read access team id is single valued and I think folders only attend to
the readAccessTeamId).  You probably have to use the Overview folder(s)
if you want really dynamic control of who sees that appointment.
