One of the nice things of the Kolab concept is that it doesn't really need a 
Kolab server, for basic functionality. :) Nearly all of the smarts is in the 
clients. For basic calendering etc you really only need a decent IMAP server, 
cyrus will do fine and appropriately configured clients. Since there is a Kolab 
backend for Horde, which allows imp and turba to access the information in the 
IMAP folders, you could use that to share a backend. I'm not intimately 
familiar with the Horde Kolab driver, but as far as I know there should not be 
much it depends on, so it should be possible to just install those bits. Freel 
free to ask on the kolab-users mailing list, or in #kolab where Gunnar Wrobel, 
the maintainer of Kolab/Horde ist hanging out. They won't bite even if you 
don't intend on running a full Kolab server. ;)

That's the IMAP/Kolab resource, indeed. It needs some configuration in KMail to 
make it work, there's an "enable groupware" switch on the Misc page of the 
main configuration dialog. The easiest way to set this up is using the 
"kolabwizard" utility program that should be part of your kdepim installation.

Cheers,

Till
