You can use server distribution lists.
(Use the Webadmin for your Kolab Server go to "distribution list",
add one with all your users and then use "group:YOURLISTNAME"
as UID to give rights to for the folder.

Email-Delegates _only_ is about who can use the From: adress
for the Account in question. So this does not help.
