Yes that is a problem that has been identified
on this list before. Naturally we don't have control
about what Bynari does. You should contact them.
Some people have been able to get the demo version
for version 1 from them after asking.

Apard from that hopes are on the Konsec Connector
which has been demonstrated on the Cebit (march) in alpha.

As long as you cannot use disconnected IMAP (as with the 
Bynari or Konsec plug-in on ol) you cannot really use the Kolab Server.
So this wouldn't help ether.
