That that this _is_ the KDE Kolab2 Client.

This works fine here with the KDE Kolab2 Client and Toltec.
(KDE both recommended KDE3.3+Proko2 and KDE3.4.0-releasebranch).

(Assuming that you mean the server....)

KDE 3.4.0 is less quality controlled than 3.3+proko2 branch,
so it was unlikely that this would give you better results.

That is the right one, 
the naming in that dialog is inconsistant
and I haven't got other KDE people to change it.

First: For production use take KDE3.3+proko2 as Kolab client.
Next: Try the kolabwizard to configure the users.
Also make sure that workgroup mode folders are not hidden.
(See settings email -> misc -> work group -> hide workgroup folders 
and restart Kontact).
 
Note that the Calendar folders need to appear on the disconnected imap then.
Click on them and use the right click to get the contect menu.
Go to permissions. Then enter each user primary email address
 that should get access and sync.

Now some debugging hints:
On the server, check that the folder is there and has the right permissions.
For this you can get root and use cyradm, e.g.:
 /kolab/bin/cyradm --user=manager localhost

lm
lam "user/crypto3/access for all cs at test.hq"
