Ah, thanks for reporting this.  I don't look at the wiki talk/discussion page. 

I removed the links to the stable repository, as that is for kolab-2.1.0 (I 
believe or perhaps even prior 2.1.0).  One should now use the unstable 
repository.  Another thing for which I did not have the time to write, is that 
one must use perl-ldap from the devel:language:perl repository.

Factory as in openSUSE_Factory or unstable?

If I do that I get:
kolab2:~ # rpm -qa | grep kolab
cyrus-imapd-kolab-2.3.13-63.1
kolab-filter-0.1.5-3.1
kolab-format-1.0.1-2.5
kolab-freebusy-0.1.5-4.5
kolab-2.2.2-0
php5-imap-kolab-5.2.9-1.1
kolab-storage-0.4.0-3.7
kolab-webadmin-2.2.0.99_cvs20090222-2.9
imap-kolab-lib-2006c1_suse-71.3
kolab-server-0.5.0-4.1
perl-kolab-2.2.1.90_cvs20090503-1.3

They come from the following repositories:
kolab2:~ # PKGS=$(rpm -qa | grep kolab)                           
kolab2:~ # rpm -q --qf "%{NAME}\t%{DISTRIBUTION}\n" $PKGS
kolab-format    server:php:applications / openSUSE_11.1
kolab-freebusy  server:php:applications / openSUSE_11.1
kolab   server:Kolab:UNSTABLE / openSUSE_11.1
php5-imap-kolab server:Kolab:UNSTABLE / openSUSE_11.1
kolab-storage   server:php:applications / openSUSE_11.1
kolab-filter    server:php:applications / openSUSE_11.1
kolab-webadmin  server:Kolab:UNSTABLE / openSUSE_11.1
cyrus-imapd-kolab       server:Kolab:UNSTABLE / openSUSE_11.1
imap-kolab-lib  server:Kolab:UNSTABLE / openSUSE_11.1
kolab-server    server:php:applications / openSUSE_11.1
perl-kolab      server:Kolab:UNSTABLE / openSUSE_11.1

You have packages with php5-pear-kolab-*, which is not good.

What is the result of "locate kolabmailfilter"?

I have:
kolab2:~ # rpm -qf /usr/bin/kolabmailboxfilter
kolab-filter-0.1.5-3.1

kolab2:~ # rpm -ql kolab-filter | grep bin
/usr/bin/kolabfilter
/usr/bin/kolabmailboxfilter

I test on and use 11.1, others test 10.3.  The packages are the same, as they 
are all build with exactly the same specfile.  I would opt for 11.1 if you 
have the possibility as that will last longer than 10.3.

I believe that the wiki is rather up to date.  The most important part that is 
missing, is an explanation to install perl-ldap from devel:language:perl

Verify that you have the right perl-ldap, by executing the following command:
kolab2:~ # grep -n "{cookie} || undef" 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.0/Net/LDAP/Control/SyncRequest.pm

The result should be:
24:      cookie => $self->{cookie} || undef,

(24 is the line number).
