I've VERY interested in this, I'd tried a few times, I'm using SUSE
10.2 and "versions" in the web interface gives me this output:

perl-kolab-5.8.7-30.8
kolab-2.1.0-31.1
kolab-resource-handlers-2.1.0-10.7
kolab-webadmin-2.1.0-5.7

I would love the "Long Description" if you have the time.  I haven't
had the time to mess with it in a while and currently it's working.  I
vaguely remember getting some annotations.db errors and I thought I'd
read that the DB format had changed, now I'm thinking that it's likely
I wasn't following the proper steps.

I have however successfully migrated the data and mail to a fresh 10.3
install, but a huge issue I have with that is that we are using Toltec
and per Joon, there is no way to 'copy' the Folder UID's, meaning that
any shared folders would come in as new or duplicate the messages
already contained within them on the outlook clients.

What clients are you using?

-- I'm new to mailing lists, I'm not sure the polite way to do this,
I've put my reply at the bottom and did a Reply All, please let me
know if I should be doing this differently...

Thanks,
