The SQL problem? As in, you are required to run an SQL server for Horde to 
operate properly? If so, then yes, this is being looked at, although at this 
point it's still in the very early stages.

We're planning on solving this by writing an LDAP DataTree driver, so all the 
data that would normally be contained in the SQL database could in future be 
moved to the LDAP tree instead.

Horde is working fine with Kolab2 at the moment, although there are still a 
couple of problems that need ironing out. You should be able to use it as-is, 
even if only for webmail. If that's all that you want you can always disable 
the other modules (Kronolith, Turba, Mnemo and Nag) and only allow web users 
access to their Kolab mail accounts. The mail portion of Horde works 100% 
correctly with Kolab.

You could probably use SquirrelMail as well, but that would only allow you 
mail access.
