You're welcome

Agree

Here is the current state of kolab related packages in Debian:

The pkg-kolab team is maintaining kolab-cyrus (cyrus 2.2 with kolab
patches), kolab server (including kolab-webadmin), kolabadmin (seems
to be unmaintained upstream) and kolab-webclient. So it is "Kolab
server" and "Kolab web client".

The 'Debian Qt/KDE Maintainers' is maintaining kdepim (version 3.5.9
and 4.2.0 currently, see
<http://packages.qa.debian.org/k/kdepim.html>). This is not the kolab
branch, so as for kolab-webclient, some features are missing. The
pkg-kolab mailing list is the good place to talk about these missing
features to coordinate effort.

The 'Thunderbird Plugin: SyncKolab' is not packaged in debian, but it
is easy to install, as an addon.

Also, uw-imap libc-client and php5-map are not patched for annotations
(see http://bugs.debian.org/456947 and http://bugs.debian.org/456591),
kolab code is falling back to slower PEAR code. As the RFC
annotatemore is now a proposed standard
(<http://mailman.rfc-editor.org/pipermail/rfc-dist/2009-February/002184.html>),
it may be implemented upstream soon.

The php-imap 'myright' patch is not included in Debian (please vote
for http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=43948). There is no bug in Debian
BTS, TODO.

Postfix is up to date.

perl-ldap (libnet-ldap-perl) is up to date in unstable (not in lenny).
