I can't help you with what eGroupware can do, but I can assure you that 
egroupware is not "compatible" with Kolab. The reason I can be so sure is 
that I don't even see how two groupware servers could be compatible - 
what would that mean? eGroupware does not implement the Kolab concept, 
and is a different solution. What it can do, and pros and cons compared 
to Kolab is not something I can help you with. However, it might be that 
they use the same clients as we do. Kontact supports several different 
groupware servers.
