The commits affected the schema in the kolabd package, the creation of
shared folders within the perl-kolab package and the creation of
shared folders from the webadmin frontend.

Since each shared folder is represented by a LDAP object and will to
be converted into a mail folder for the imap folder these three
elements need to agree on the name of the attributes on the ldap
object.

The kolab ldap schema defines a kolabFolderType attribute while both
perl-kolab and the webadmin try to read an attribute that is only
called folderType. So creating a shared folder with a specified type
in the webadmin currently fails. I simply renamed the attribute to
"folderType" in the kolabSchema and stuff worked fine.
