Does anything appear in your Apache/PHP logs indicating what the problem could 
be? If you also set up a log for Horde to use, that may include something 
that could give us a clue as to what is causing this.

One thing that I can think of straight away is your turba/config/sources.php. 
As you said, Turba handles IMAP <-> Horde Share synchronisation differently 
to the other applications, so the small code block preceding the local Kolab 
addressbook definition is required, perhaps you removed it? It reads:

    require_once 'Horde/Kolab.php';
    $dummy = null;
    Kolab::synchroniseShares($dummy, 'turba');

Essentially it's complete, however it hasn't been tested as extensively as we 
could have hoped for so there are probably still a few bugs lurking around, 
some of which could be quite nasty. Also, as Kolab 2 is still evolving the 
webclient has become a bit out of date with the other clients and the spec, 
however work has again begun to bring it up to date and perform more testing 
and bugfixing.

Thanks for using it :-)
