Paul, thanks very much!. I've changed the file to dav.ics.php and now works
when I open the file with outlook (in other words, I'm able to export SM
Calendar into  Outlook and able to access to a calendar using that address
from the browser)

This part still not working... :( . I'm using outlook 2007 and there is a
way to publish a Calendar... It supposes to be as easy as to write a valid
WebDav Server address ... but outlook still says that the provided address
is not valid (por example:
http://127.0.0.1/sqmail149/plugins/calendar/dav.ics.php?calID=sm_cal_2007060
4T224933Z). I'll try to contact a outlook guru, but if you figure out
something else please let me know.

Cheers.

Mauricio
