<p>You're right that the setup depends on the use-case and what needs to be achieved with it.<br>
As I gave no information's about my needs it is not possible to talk about any (dis)-advantages. </p>
<p>For now I just want to use Kolab for synchronizing private emails and calendars on various devices for max 5 users. Calendar sharing would be nice but that's optional. </p>
<p>At the moment I use tine20 for synchronizing calendars and contacts and roundcube as webmailer. I like the interface of round cube much more than tine and it would be great to get rid of 2 different interfaces.</p>
<p>At work I have to administer some apache with nginx as reverse proxy. I chose this setup for my private server, too. That lead to the idea of using nginx as SMTP and imap proxy, too</p>

First I thought Kolab might be too "big" for my needs but that sounds good. <br></p>
