Yes, we use replication for directory data already. Kolab 2 currently has 
built-in support for multi-location setups.

Kolabl2 uses replication for directory data but not for the actual IMAP data. 
We consider the replication of IMAP data to be counter productive in most 
cases.

HA clustering of Kolab is a typical consulting project not subject to Kolab 2. 

I don't know which feature we will implement for Kolab 3 though ;-)
