I used this for a test user (because my own imap box has too much 
mails to test cached imap) and after I had all running with my own 
mailbox. I don't use a special groupware user for this.

I don't think that this is a problem with the imapserver. May be it is 
time to test dovecot imap server.

I gave the hostname of my mailserver (by the way a CentOS 5.1 too), my 
e-mail address, my username and my password (I don't need that on a 
regular basis because I use kerberos to authentication stuff, but the 
wizzard forced me to enter the user-password.

After that I had to change the usernames (because my username does not 
match my e-mail address) and had to remove the online free and busy 
stuff (kolab has it, but My server currently don't). Then everything 
worked fine (besides the encoding stuff).
