I had this problem if in your kolab setup your UID differs from your primary 
email-adress. For example your email adress is foo at bar.com and your UID is 
just foo. It seems that sometimes Kontact gets confused by these differences 
since all (automatic) permissions are set for foo at bar.com. Adding the UID 
(foo in this case) in the permissions for each folder makes these problems go 
away. I dont know if it's a bug in kontact, or if the kolab-server sometimes 
has problems mapping UID and primary email-adress. Hope this helps
