Hello Alex,

I used both binary and source files on a clean install of Etch (no VM). 
I didn't find any errors in the kolab-install.log Just this note after 
imapd is prepared:

+----------------------------------Notice-------------------------------------+
| To complete the Cyrus IMAP installation 
do:                                 |
| 1. start SASL and Cyrus IMAP 
with:                                          |
|    /kolab/bin/openpkg rc sasl 
start                                         |
|    /kolab/bin/openpkg rc imapd 
start                                        |
| 2. hook Cyrus IMAP into your particular MTA 
manually                        |
|    (usually configure mail delivery via 
LMTP)                               |
| 3. create mailboxes for each of your 
users:                                 |
|    $ /kolab/bin/cyradm --user=root 
localhost                                |
|    cyradm> createmailbox 
user.<user>                                        |
|    cyradm> setaclmailbox user.<user> <user> 
lrswipcd                        |
|    cyradm> mboxconfig user.<user> comment 
"<name>"                          |
|    cyradm> setquota user.<user> STORAGE 
500000                              |
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

After the install runs through I start with /kolab/ect/kolab/bootstrap -b
Bootstrapping also runs through without an error message. All ports are 
available. The webadmin page also works, I can create new users and
the synchronization with Outlook over the Toltec connector. But everything
that interacts or uses Horde doesn't work (fbview, Horde webclient, etc.)

How did you get it to work? Did it work "out-of-the-box"? Any hints on 
solving this problem? I would really appreciate your help :-) What 
Debian Etch Version do you use?
