I was trying to understand the various peices a bit more.

I did find where the round cube source was installed and it too looks like can 
use either ANNOTATEMORE or METADATA IMAP extensions.

Ahha, it does look like pykolab has a dependency on the ANNOTATEMORE extension 
because of the following. In

http://git.kolab.org/pykolab/tree/pykolab/imap/__init__.py#n138

kolab tries to use a cyrus specific, dovecot specific, or python generic module 
for talking to the IMAP server. The cyrus and imaplib modules seem to be 
sending GETANOTATION calls (e.g. the old specification)

As far as I can tell the dovecot.py module isn't available, unless the 
dovecot.py in pysieved is somehow relevant.
