I quote from the Kroupware FAQ:

3.4. Are there other Kolab clients on Windows than Outlook? Preferably Free

We are not aware of other existing Kolab clients for Windows. Within the 
Kroupware project we are not contracted to create such a client. A web based 
Kolab client for users is also not part of the current Kroupware project.
