Hello Daniel,

thank you for clarifying things.

I searched for the code of kolabd where the imap accounts are created, 
but cannot find it at the moment.
For my scenario, kolab lm shows that IMAP accounts are created for my 
forwarding accounts.
classes of the account are:
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetorgperson
objectClass: mailrecipient
objectClass: organizationalperson
objectClass: person

any ideas?

Forwarding itself works fine, I have now extended my test case with a 
forward to an external echo address as well:

Thanks,
