[Kroupware] Outlook cannot log in to IMAP server

[Stephan Buys]

Hi Paul,

Please check that your all the directories leading to your certificates
have enough permissions for others to access.

IIRC you need to fix-up's /kolab/etc/kolab permission and give other or 
group permissions to the folder.

Kind regards,
Stephan
