the server part is called kolab, and that works well.
It is just a collection of, apache, postfix, cyrus, openldap, webdav,
and other OS projects, with a little glue between them. So i'd expect
the server to work fine.

but i havent been able to get o2k to work with the ldap.
And i dont believe that the bynari plugin is worthwhile
i had LOTS of trouble getting it to work, and it isnt
stable either. Sure this was version2, but some has reportet
that that part works. Others use version1. 
But if you just use kolab as a standart imap server and
publishes the freebusy lists at the server, it will work,
but contacts, calendar, and other stuff will be vulnerable
(no central backup) at the client machines.
The contacts are not shared though, so get ldap working.

That depends on what they expect. This isnt exchange functions
(yet) but it might get there. We are about to use it as a standart
imap, and the freebusy stuff too.
