That should  work. The Kolab-Resource simply interprets the IMAP-Objects in 
your IMAP resource and extracts contacts/events etc...
The only thing that is required from your IMAP server, is either IMAP METADATA 
or ANNOTATEMORE, which cyrus should provide (it's the official Kolab IMAP 
server).

PS: Generally we have kdepim-users at kde.org and kolab-users at kolab.org for user 
related questions, this is a developer list.

Cheers,
Christian
