Detlef & Daniel,

I remember having to make a change to org-caldav.el to cater for digits
after the two capital letters, as in "TS9-...".  That change was:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
diff --git a/org-caldav.el b/org-caldav.el
index 0383366..cd5b273 100644
--- a/org-caldav.el
+++ b/org-caldav.el
@@ -786,7 +786,7 @@ is no UID to rewrite. Returns the UID."
      ((re-search-forward "^UID:\\(orgsexp-[0-9]+\\)" nil t)
       ;; This is a sexp entry, so do nothing.
       (match-string 1))
-     ((re-search-forward "^UID:\\(\\s-*\\)\\([A-Z][A-Z]-\\)?\\(.+\\)\\s-*$"
+     ((re-search-forward "^UID:\\(\\s-*\\)\\([A-Z][A-Z][0-9]-\\)?\\(.+\\)\\s-*$"
                         nil t)
       (when (match-string 1)
        (replace-match "" nil nil nil 1))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I believe this change was incorporated into org-caldav.el but I am
currently on a system which has not been updated in a while.  In any
case, I wonder if the change could be:

+     ((re-search-forward "^UID:\\(\\s-*\\)\\([A-Z][A-Z][0-9]*-\\)?\\(.+\\)\\s-*$"

instead, adding a "*" to the digit match to cater for any number of
digits after the two capital letters?

HTH,
eric
