Yes, it is possible to use LAM together with Kolab provided you do some little 
porting work.

Looking at the screenshots http://lam.sourceforge.net/screenshots/index.htm I 
must say that they look pretty.

Actually for Kolab 3 I have some vision towards a more general directory 
service within Kolab to control stuff like Samba and Webaccess/Squid.

Which features are you considering to be most interesting?

Kolab aims for a secure and scalable solution. The current focus in the LAM 
development seems to me (a first (!) impression) to be towards usability and 
functionality.
