Just to double-check:

There are no slave hosts defined in the "Kolab Hostnames (for Master
and Slaves)" section of the "Settings"-Panel and the single host
listed there really matches the local machine name?

While people often don't use slave servers it can happen that somebody
enters a value in that section. As far as I know the Kolab server
would then try to connect to that host but obviously fails. This might
lead to the situation you are observing.

If this is not the case we would probably have to dive deeper into the
code.

Cheers,

Gunnar
