Thank you so much for the answer, I'm following the new document.
Since you were so kind, I would like to ask you a question.
During my attempts to configure Kontact with Kolab I evidently
made something wrong with Cyrus and messed up the whole thing.
I have then disinstalled and reinstalled the whole Kolab server, with
all its dependencies, then ran again /usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap -b.
The configuration is much clearer now, but when I start the kolab-server
service, after all the services give [OK], I receive this message:

Login failed: authentication failure at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor
_perl/5.8.3/i386-linux-thread-multi/Cyrus/IMAP/Admin.pm line 118
could not authenticate with Cyrus IMAP daemon () at /usr/sbin/kolab line
439.

Can you please help me with this?

Thank you in advance

If you ask me, I can tell you the support is not what I expected.
