The default structure in 2.1.x and 2.2.x has changed compared to
2.0.x, but you can just comment the "hashimapspool: yes" line in
/kolab/etc/kolab/templates/imapd.conf.template (as described in the
2.0->2.1 upgrading docs).

Alternatively you can use
http://kolab.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs-kolab.cgi/*checkout*/utils/admin/hash-imap-spool
to convert it from the old format to the current.

I think your best bet for now is to follow the 2.0->2.1
instructions and then the 2.1->2.2 instructions. I think this should
even work without installing the 2.1 packages first, but directly
install the 2.2 ones.

Somehow, but with lower priority, as there is above workaround.

More interesting would be instructions to import existing data into
a fresh installations. We already have a draft for that and it was
already used in production once, but it needs some more work before
this can be published.
