thanks for trying. I assume you've tried RouchCut Version 
Kolab-E5RC-2011-06-15-19-24.exe as linked from
http://wiki.kolab.org/Kontact_for_Windows_(Enterprise-5)

Just select "Kolab Server" in the account wizard with your address,
server and password. That should set up things nicely.
Help us to improve the documentation starting in the wiki,
if you need more. Probably pointers to other documentation
would be cool to have there as well.

See above.

Yes, done by default.

Will be done by default. You can configure more SMTP outgoing connections 
manually, if you like.

As far as I remember this is currently not fully implemented on window.
If it works, the account wizard will enter your Kolab Server as first 
directory server to query.

> Can I do S/MIME?

The current roughcut version and gpg4win versions slightly missmatch. All the 
functions are there, once this has been matched S/MIME will work as nicely as 
everywhere with Kontact.

Best,
Bernhard
