I'm running Kolab and Horde cvs versions (of a week or so ago)  
natively on gentoo with apache2 and php5, using Gunnar's ebuilds as a  
starting point.

I've noticed an incompatibility between Horde and Kontact as well. I  
think it's because Horde is inlining the XML kolab item in the message  
body as a application/x-vnd.kolab.whatever, while Kontact (and Sync  
Kolab for Thunderbird) store the XML item as an attachment named  
'kolab.xml').

I've been meaning to look into this, but haven't had time yet.
