Exchange 2007 - IMAP Calendaring.

I am reading through my exchange 2007 book and its talking about advanced imap configuration for calendaring: Here are my options:

iCalendar
Intranet URL
Internet URL
Custom (Owa)

What i dont get is how to use these? I thought that i could use exchange calendaring with any ical compliant program or better yet use owa as "my calendar server" for windows mail or for Thunderbird?

Meaning that a user who does not have an exchange aware mail program such as outlook could use imap and these calendaring options to access there exchange calendar?

Am i off the mark here? or am i missing something?

Thank you for your response. I get how to use owa and i get how to use other aspects of exchange. However i am trying to understad (that since owa doesnt support ical) why the options for it are listed under the Retrieval settings of the IMAP4 properties in Server Configuration > Retrival Settings.

Thats my Confusion...

I got it figured out, that (like it says) is just the retrival format for calendar items, so i can set it up to use ical and then an ical compliant message is sent out (to my box when i am selected as a recipitnet).

Thunderbird can read it and so can windows mail, or i can choose to use an OWA server to use outlook webparts and have the link sent to the users account - (in this case mine).

It then links it and i can access the calendar item from my web browser.
