In this case Kolab seems to be what you want :)

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'll reply where I can say something.

Sounds like a bug. Please make sure that you run the latest version and then 
file a bug at https://issues.kolab.org Thanks!

I assume that users are specific to domains as well. At least this seems to be 
the default behavior that can not be changed from within the web-admin.
You probably created the user for the main domain, so it is not visible in the 
others.

No problem. I hope others will be able to help you with your other questions. 
Also, we are always looking for help with documentation and also for code 
contributions.
