Thank you for the support.
I did what you suggested, but can't still authenticate with cyrus and 
the web interface can't still be accessed with manager/[manager 
password] (I also checked the bind_pw line in /etc/kolab/kolab.conf and 
it is exactly as it should be.

Following is the output of the instructions you gave; I changed the name 
of the host and of the domain with [hostname] and [domain], and the 
manager password with [password].

could not authenticate with Cyrus IMAP daemon () at /usr/sbin/kolab line 
486.

To notice is that at some point there are some rows with the following 
message:

"failed to write entry: Already exists at /usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap.real 
line xxx"

I tried to delete the /usr/sbin/kolab_bootstrap.real file, but the 
installation process complains and stops.

Thank you.
