[Users] Calendar plugin problems: Password handling, import calendar

Hello again,

Good to know that I am not the only one asking about these things :)

A number of the commits on git mention password handling, linked below
to avoid cluttering the email. Unfortunately I really don't have the
time or knowledge to study these to see exactly how the passwords are
handled.

Thanks Michael for clearing this up! Unfortunately, it is still not
working for me, probably because my username and password are full of
reserved characters, such as '.' and '@'. I tried escaping them with
backslashes, and with percent codes (making the @ %40) to no avail, I
got a variety of errors including 'this does not look like a CalDav
URL'.

I also tried to use an external program to get my calendar. A quick
search in the Debian repository yielded Vdirsyncer, which was very
simple to configure and seems to work well. However, I cannot find any
facility to actually import the file it creates (.ics)! Using the add
webcal prompt with the URI 'file://' did not work, neither did
importing it as a mailbox.

I tried pointing Vdirsyncer to the vcalendar directory, but that did
not work either

I am sure I am missing something, could someone please clear either
problem up for me.

Thanks in advance,
Jeremy
