Sure. Connect as a user with enough rights (e.g. manager) and  use an ldap 
browser, like gq. Be careful to bind to the right DN for the user, though.
Another quick and good method is to /kolab/sbin/slapcat 
stuff.

For 550 check if cyrus know the users already.
You can look at the filesystem in /kolab/var/imapd/spool
or use cyradm. I think the wiki might have something about this.
