What usually works best is to use the "kolabwizard" binary, which creates 
everything needed. You need to make sure to create resource folders under 
INBOX, not at top level, for example.

The only thing that is special is a set of added annotations, which cyrus does 
not yet have out of the box. These are used to identify resource folder types 
and which ones are the default ones in the presence of translation and across 
clients. If your server does not have support for those, new resource folders 
created by someone else on the server, or shared with you, will have to be 
set to contain resource data manually (RMB on the folder, properties, folder 
contains: events). Other than that it's plain IMAP.

As Matt pointed out in his mail, you really do want KDE > 3.4.1, ideally 3.4.2 
or proko2.
