http://www.kolab.org/about-kolab-clients.html :

The Kolab Project has developed a KDE Client which is based on KDE Kontact and 
its components. All development was done within the KDE subversion repository 
and contributed directly to the KDE project. Our improvements find their way 
into the main developments at the pace of the KDE project. 

Starting with KDE 3.4, Kontact covers all the functionality that Kolab Server 
2.0 offers except personal distribution lists. The full functionality will be 
in KDE 3.5 or later. 

For production usage, we recommend the "Proko2" branch of KDEPIM. Proko2 
packages have seen most testing of the Kolab functions and can be build for 
KDE 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 . Check out the KDE Client Download section.

Most use Proko2 branch for production.
We and the KDE project appreciate help with testing and improving the KDE 3.5
clients. There are a few known bugs which make Kontact on KDE 3.5
less suitable for production as Kolab client from our point of view.

The difference is that Kontact from KDE 3.5 is less tested as a Kolab Client.
