If you are using Kolab's Postfix and SWITCH OFF THE DISTRIBUTION'S MTA, 
messages will never be delivered to /var/mail. Apart from that, Kolab's 
standard scheme for UIDs is username at domain.tld, so this will never interfere 
with your local user accounts!

What master.cf are you talking about? /etc/postfix/master.cf or 
/kolab/etc/postfix/master.cf?

That won't work. Once again: turn off the MTA that comes with your Linux 
distribution. Then, follow the advice Bernhard gave (inspect logfiles) and 
don't try to mess with configuration files!
