How difficult would it be to build a _Kolab extension_ for 
Mozilla/Thunderbird ? I'm not a programmer but if I could learn and help 
it could be great.

Kolab is a great server and I wish I could use it with Thunderbird as a 
Kolab server, not only as a classic IMAP server.

I run Kolab 1 downloaded from 
ftp://ftp.zfos.org/brew/kolab/BIN/kolab-1.0.14-20031126/ix86-redhat9.

Unfortunately, I can't configure the LDAP client with that settings. I 
managed them with Berhard method and it has worked. But I'd like to set 
them up for external query.

In /kolab/etc/kolab/kolab.conf there's
base ds: dc=example
base dn: adminusername,dc=example.

Also, how could I import address books to the Kolab server. Should I 
write all vCards manually ?

Thank you very much.
