Dear Paul and Thorsten,
 
Actualy I'm using Samba4 which does not use standard LDAP as far as I 
understand but instead MS Active Directory. I have seen that there is a 
version of Kolab for Univention Corporate Server (UCS) 
http://kolabsys.com/news/kolab-ucs-31-now-available-univention-app-center, 
which uses Active Directory as its user database I suppose. But this solution 
(UCS) is not OK for me as licences have to be paid for production servers and 
I really don't need this as my goal is to use free software.
Also in Samba 4 Standard LDAP backend support is not developed actively any 
more and it wont be in future releases as far as I have been reading.
I already have Samba4 Active Directory working with a few users and I would 
like to use this directory of users also for Kolab.
As for the web administration I can live without it because I will use MS 
Remote Server administration tool which works great with Samba 4 so I can 
manage users with this tool from any Windows machine.
I have found no guides for this combination of Samba 4 and Kolab 3 and I'm not 
really that familiar with LDAP or AD so I was hoping that someone did 
something similar and can give me some pointers.
I will try to make this work and I will post my progress here but if anyone 
has some advice or can help me in any way I would really appreciate it.


You need to integrate kolab.schema in Samba4 Active Directory in order to have 
all attributes required by kolab server.
There are lot of guides about using Postfix and Cyrus with LDAP but you need 
to configure them manualy.
If you can accept a "limited kolab" should be pretty easy. ActiveSync and 
webmail not need to access ldap ( with minor exceptions) . I'n mot sure MS 
server can add e-mail addresses or aliases, but you can use other ldap 
management tools instead.
