You can run "sieveshell" from a terminal on the Kolab server:

/kolab/bin/sieveshell --user=username --authname=adminname localhost

This lets you log an as the 'adminname' to manage the scripts of  
'username'.  Write a sieve script, and upload it with the 'put'  
command.  If your users manage their sieve configs with horde (same  
with kontact?), I recommend to first load 'kmail-vacation.siv', modify  
it appropriately, and then save it back.  When the user returns (s)he  
just has to save the filter settings in horde as to activate the  
previous settings.

Sure.  For an example, in Horde activate both options and look at the  
script.  Or dig through the sieve docs...

In my installation, I run LDAP account manager (LAM,  
<http://lam.sourceforge.net/>) on an other machine, basically because I  
want to manage the Samba and DHCP stuff I serve through Kolab's LDAP  
server, but it also gives you access to more LDAP fields.  Any other  
LDAP tool will do the same, e.g. Eclipse has a really nice LDAP plug-in.

Hope this helps,
Albrecht.
