Correct.

We expect it to be about 2 years. This can be even longer, it depends on 
somebody doing the work. Currently maintenance is mainly funded by KK over 
paying customers. So as long as customers pay for it, KK will support it.

e4 is quite close to e35 from the usage point of view.
Form the technology side it is all Qt4 and KDE4 under the hood
and some more goodies.

kolab-devel@
or kolab-users@ are good places.
It depends on your level of feedback I would say. If you are a regular reader 
on kolab-devel@ I would prefer this list.

Best,
