You can edit the files in /kolab/etc/kolab
and run kolabconf (in modern development versions, don't know 
about mandrake.)

Any ldap client should do it.
I usually use gq, note that you might need to give the correct base dn
as printed by the bootstrap script.

I don't know about phpLDAPAdmin or webmin.
Try to check the Base dn.

Kolab 1 does not support this, but Kolab2 will.
The new kolab clients can set ACLs on the folders.

I am no expert on sieve and only use it over the webadministration intervace
logged in as a user or the KDE Kolab client funcationality.
(You have to enable this in the receiving configuration.)
