What is not working when using the instructions? I know I updated them  
once but of course they might not be up-to-date for 2.2.1 anymore. If  
I know what is not working I might be able to fix this.

If you configured your external account correctly in the Kolab web  
client and the button does not download any mails that would be a bug  
and you should open an issue in the tracker.

The Kolab web client won't create a fetchmailrc file. The  
functionality offered by Horde is a manual pull by clicking on the  
"Fetch mail" button. As fetchmail is not included by default on the  
Kolab server writing a fetchmailrc wouldn't make much sense.

Cheers,

Gunnar
