You are right, Kolab contains all required component for a mail server, it
will not reuse any distribution specific components.
Kolab will not destroy anything, it will (the openpkg version) install
all their components in /kolab directory.

If you want to use Kolab with Hord, you should wait for the end of its
integration, probably
for kolab-2.2.

Anyway, Horde is an IMAP client only (I thing) and then you should be
already able to
use thunderbird. Anyway Horde (your version, not the kolab one) store
non email data in
a format not usable by thunderbird and then you will be able to share
only emails.
