I wrote the attached simple Perl script a while ago which copies an IMAP 
mailbox from one server to another. I successfully copied several mailboxes 
onto a Kolab server with this script. All mailboxes where about 1-2 GB in 
size. Most likely, you won't need the ReadLine and ProgessBar stuff; and you 
also have to make some modifications to be able to access the shared folders.

Shouldn't that be 

su - kolab-r -c "/kolab/bin/cyrreconstruct -rf \ 
user/username at kolab.domainname" ?

I don't think the Kolab server is a black box. You can always use your 
favourite LDAP management tool to create the users and from that on, 
everything is pretty much standard Postfix and Cyrus IMAP.

I noticed that, too. I think the Reply-To header is not being set correctly 
sometimes. This doesn't happen on the kolab-devel list. Maybe the list 
administrators can have a look at this?
