The Kolab clients detect the "special" resource folders by using IMAP 
annotations. On the folders they create themselves, they set them themselves, 
but if you want to use another folder, you can set it to contain 'contacts' in 
the properties dialog of the folder in KMAil, and it should be picked up as an 
addressbook henceforth. Making a folder the primary, default contacts folder 
for Kolab (as opposed to INBOX/Contacts, or equivalent) isn't currently 
exposed in the UI anywhere, in other words you'd have to set the IMAP 
annoatation manually, but I don't know if there are tools for Exchange that 
allow doing that short of speaking raw IMAP with it.
