Ah, I see. I can log on as a regular user at https://.../admin/, too 8-) 
I'm now getting messages about the sieve service being unreachable. I will 
have a look at that tomorrow.

Outlook is configured according to that document. After I modified the 
proftpd.conf.template like this:

I can do anonymous FTP to the Kolab server. Outlook connects to the server 
but it doesn't store anything there. I will try to debug this later.

BTW, if you are scheduling a meeting with someone who has never connected 
to the free/busy service, you will get an error message from Outlook 
complaining about the missing vcf file. I think the Kolab server should 
place an empty file in the freebusy directory so that the users don't get 
confused by Outlook's error message.
