Hi Gunnar,

Thanks for your response.

I'm using Kolab mainly for email. Client is Mozilla Thunderbird.
We want to use EGroupware for group calendars, project management, wiki etc.
Offcourse I can create a completely stand-alone version based on SQL, 
which means I have to manage separate user accounts (about 50) for email 
(Kolab) and EGroupware. I would like to prevent that.
As far as the LDAP configuration of EGroupware, I don't have any idea 
what I have to use.


Best regards,
Jacques
