There's the org-caldav package in MELPA, you can try that. When it works, it does exactly what you want. It often doesn't work, though -- I'm not blaming the author, DAV stuff is bizarre and unreliable. I've been using it with a Radicale server, and after some bug fixes it worked great. Now it's suddenly stopped working again, for no reason I can see, and I've been too lazy to figure out why. Anyway, I think it would be worth a shot. Eric
