You should be able to do this with fetchmail.  Fetchmail can check mail from 
multiple accounts, and place them in another user's mailbox (I believe it 
works by resending each message to the kolab user through the local MTA).  
Check out the wiki and the forum on getting fetchmail to work with kolab.  
Here are my notes:

I installed kolab's fetchmail (rather than my distro's fetchmail) and found I 
had to do the following:

First, download config and fetchmail.  The URL listed in the wiki is old, so I 
had to do some searching for these:

wget ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.5/SRC/config-20051002-2.5.0.src.rpm
wget ftp://ftp.openpkg.org/release/2.5/SRC/fetchmail-6.2.5-2.5.0.src.rpm

Then build the rpms and install them.  I did this on a Fedora Core 4 
installation, so the RPM names below might change for you.

/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -iv /opt/kolab/kolab2.0.2/config-20051002-2.5.0.src.rpm
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm -iv /opt/kolab/kolab2.0.2/fetchmail-6.2.5-2.5.0.src.rpm
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpmbuild -bb /kolab/RPM/SRC/config/config.spec
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm 
-i /kolab/RPM/PKG/config-20051002-2.5.0.ix86-fedora4-kolab.rpm
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpmbuild -bb /kolab/RPM/SRC/fetchmail/fetchmail.spec
/kolab/bin/openpkg rpm 
-i /kolab/RPM/PKG/fetchmail-6.2.5-2.5.0.ix86-fedora4-kolab.rpm


Edit /kolab/etc/rc.d/rc.fetchmail and set daemon mode to “yes”

Edit /kolab/etc/fetchmail/fetchmail.master.  Set daemon interval, and add 
accounts to check in this file.  There are plenty of fetchmail examples on 
the net (even some on the kolab forum) for all the different mail server 
options.

Note:  /kolab/etc/fetchmail/fetchmailrc is (over)written (copied from 
fetchmail.master) each time fetchmail is (re)started.  Maybe the developers 
had something else in mind with the fetchmail.users file besides editing 
fetchmail.master, but I couldn't find any documentation on either file or any 
indication fetchmail.users was getting used.  In any case, I added each of my 
users to fetchmail.users.


Then start fetchmail using:
/kolab/bin/openpkg rc fetchmail start

Check its status using:
/kolab/bin/openpkg rc fetchmail status

Also run ps ax to confirm the fetchmail process is running.

If you start/stop kolab in the future, fetchmail will start/stop along with 
all the other services.

Now send yourself a test email, and after the daemon interval you set, it 
should show up in the kolab user account's inbox.

Hope this helps.
