As others may have the same problem, this is what I have found out:
Symptom:
After folowing exactly the QIM, when I first startet kolab,
I got errors regarding access rights in some postfix files. Also while 
starting kolap I've got
Login failed: generic failure at 
/kolab/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.0/i686-linux/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118
could not authenticate with Cyrus IMAP daemon () at 
/kolab/etc/kolab/kolab line 439.
  I fixed the access rights on the postfix files, but should have been 
alerted. It seems that at some point I had made an error and the 
install procedure doesn't test success on changing accessrights.
Solution:
I have removed the kolab dir completly and used the excellent script 
built-install-kolab.sh - found on this list. That worked.

My suggestion is to include this script into the source distri as it 
simplifies installation a lot and prevent some errors ;-).
