I main problems have been with the system accepting mail downloaded using
"Fetchmail",

I got Outlook to work with th TOLTEC connector and POP3/SMTP at one point,
but in trying to sort the fetchmail I have now had to start again.

I have since then have tried re-installing kolab again both using ZFOS &
source and am about to do a ZFOS install again (after 1 week I may just have
to give up after this one)

I have installed MANY e-mail servers with POP3/SMTP before with no major
problems, but KOLAB has me stumped, I think I MUST be missing something
along the way or it just does not Like Red Hat Enterprise !

one transcript follwoing 1 re-install is below:-

[root at rdcredits root]# /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab_bootstrap -b
