Antw: Multiple kolab servers

What about subdomains for every branch?
Like branch1.domain.tld branch2.domain.tld.

Use one Kolab in headquarter with "domain.tld" and one Kolab per branch with "branchXX.domain.tld".
You have to allocate every mailaddress in hq to their branch domain, it's a simple forward in the user settings.
The mail arrives in hq and will be forwarded to the branch, where the user works.
I think that would be smart. :)

Fetchmail is an option, too and not even bad as you think.

Hi Everyone again! :)

I have just started with Kolab and so far I am very happy! Going to promote it 
much more! Would be nice if the Ubuntu community caught on to what stable 
production ready groupware/email server it is.

I have an advanced question though.

I have a customer that has multiple branches. We would really like to setup 1 
kolab server per branch and POP and SMTP locally at all branches as would be 
quicker and better on bandwidth however they still want to be on one domain 
name.

Is there any fancy/easy way of doing this correctly?

One way I though of is if you create another domain(called 
say "domainbranch1.com") and forward all mails for that user to the new 
domain called "domainbranch1.com" and then they pop off there local kolab 
server which is setup as "domainbranch1.com".

This is not really the best way, its kinda like fetchmail which is not really 
what I'm after.

I know Kolab has master/slave servers, could this help?

Can someone shed some light on this topic or point me in right direction!

Thanks for your help! :D
