Upgraded kolab, still not delivering to imap

I think I found the problem. If there is a local user by the name that you
have set up in Kolab, postfix will default to usinglocal rather than lmtp
as a delivery method. I created a user on my mailserver under the kolab
interface without creating a Linux user, and the email worked perfectly in
postfix, getting processed into lmtp rather than local. With the other
mail account users, I can delete their accounts, but I would rather not
get rid of my account, since I admin the box and loathe logging in as
root. Right now, I am looking for the recommended method of turning off
local delivery.

Is there a more elegant way to add a user to the system without restarting
kolab? I actually got a bounce for the user until I restarted Kolab. Is
there a way of refreshing only the parts needed without restarting?
Perhaps we could have something on the web interface?

Thanks for everyone's help on this.
