Please stop using the term "Kolab Server" for "Kolab distributed through 
OpenPKG". My ears are bleeding :)

Really, if we want Kolab to be widely adopted, we need to make sure that 
OpenPKG is just a distribution and there are other ways, too.

Roundcube needs some PEAR modules (e.g. Net_IDNA2) or PECL extensions (pecl-
Fileinfo) that are not packaged as OpenPKG. For others the versions we have as 
OpenPKG are outdated (MDB2 >= 2.5.0 plus driver for MySQL, PostgreSQL or 
SQLite).

The rest (Auth-SASL, DB, Mail-Mime, Net-SMTP, Net-Socket, Mail-mimeDecode) is 
available and should suffice.

More info at http://trac.roundcube.net/wiki/Howto_Requirements (unfortunately 
not as detailed as it should)

Christoph
