It is true that E5 still needs a lot of work to be as stable as
the Enterprise 3.5 is today. For some users it already starts to be usable, 
though. I know some people who run Kontact e5 on Mac successfully as well,
but they have experience with running KDE Plattform 4 based software on Mac.

The place to ask or help is:

The number of processes does not correlate with the overall need of resources,
the same codebase as Kontact is running nicely as Kontact Touch on Smartphones
which have very restricted resources. Actually I believe the needed resources
have been reduced from E35 to E5.

We are open for anyone that adopts the Kolab specification and wants to be 
fully compatible. Standard communication protocols like ActiveSync and IMAP
can of course be used by any client that speak them.

This mainly depends on the help and funding that comes in
to progress E5. ;)
