I'm not certain concerning the alias at the moment. The problem is  
bigger than just the alias though. The check that got broken in this  
version of the Kolab web admin checks in general that one mail address  
only belongs to one user. Right now it is possible to set the uid of  
user a to the mail address of user b. And that creates problems with  
mail delivery.

After I fixed that problem we might consider the alias problem again  
and see if the check is really necessary there.

Cheers,

Gunnar
