I stand corrected. I used kolab once (version 1) and the only client 
at this time was horde web and kontact (besides the outlook plugin you 
had to pay for). 

I like the idea in using imap folders for contact and calendar. You 
only need to setup one server. For SOGo, for example, you have to 
setup an imap server, the sogo server itself, a database server (mysql 
or postgresql) and a http server as frontend for sogo.

What I missed most with kolap: I never found packages for a 
distribution (neither centos/rhel nor suse). You have to use either 
the source or these openPKG thingy. I must confess that in the last 
six years I never tested kolab again.
