the build instructions might be a bit short and outdated in places,
note that it is for the "proko2" branch of KDE, which you can build on
top of KDE 3.2 3.3 and 3.4.

You mean the Kolab Server as opposed to the Kolab Client (KDE Kontact).

Did you build the proko2 branch or did you use the other versions?

Yes, the resource might have had a different name,
but the wizard should configure the right one in any case.
You might want to try the manual configuration way without the wizard.

They should not dissappear, so this looks like a bug in your version.
You might want to check the configuration files within .kde
after added, closing kontact and restarting and closing again.
Make sure you do not run multiple instances of KMail, KOrganizer
and so on. Best is: only run Kontact when trying to use it as Kolab client.
