This probably is a server that got upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1, the
upgrade instructions for that include the following text:

| The default imapd configuration has been changed to enable the
| hashimapspool option.  This means that in 2.1 the default directory
| layout of the imapd spool (/kolab/var/imapd/spool/) is different from
| the one in 2.0.  When you upgrade from 2.0 it's best to keep using the
| old structure, so remove or comment out the line "hashimapspool: yes"
| in /kolab/etc/kolab/templates/imapd.conf.template *before* running
| kolabconf.
|
| For new installations the new default setting is recommended because
| it's more efficient especially when you have many mailboxes.
|
| For some background information about this see the dicussion at
| https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue1089

A python script to convert the old layout to the new one is on the CVS server:

> The second issue is linked to horde. When I access horde 
> (https://fqdn/horde), I am not asked for authentification and I am 
> logged as an administrator : many features are not configured...
> 
> I tried to install kolab 2.2 without upgrading my previous installation 
> and then it works fine : I can access horde in a normal way and all 
> seems to work fine.

I can't reproduce this, even on an upgraded system.
You may want to remove cookies you have for the old server.
