You also need to shut off Courier-IMAP.

The main strength of Kolab is integration and ease of management.  If you have 
Apache, IMAP, and FTP already running on your machine, there really is little 
need to install Kolab.  You are basically running a non-integrated version of 
Kolab with your current setup.

If you choose not to shut off your old services, (IMAP, Apache, etc), then you 
might be able to get Kolab to work, but it would no longer be integrated as 
tightly (Kolab has a single startup/shutdown script which controlls all the 
other services) and you probably wouldn't be able to set it up with the right 
permissions to have the configuration files automatically generated from 
LDAP.

The reason Kolab comes with its own versions of IMAP, Apache, etc. is for the 
tight integration.

I would suggest that if you want to use Kolab, you look into migrating all 
your data from your old services to Kolab.  There is nothing that says that 
the Apache that runs in Kolab can't be used to serve up OTHER web pages as 
well...

That's the only way that you will be able to use Kolab and still have the 
tight integration - other than the integration, you are running it already.
