well, we tried with an Ldap browser on the client. That works correctly.
Installation of KMail went smooth, it shows in the About box
"Kmail-groupware-rc2 This program is part of the KDE-kolab client".
However, such a message is not present in the KAdressbook. So, could a
faulty installation be the problem? And if so, how can we check that?
