Great, thank you for the confirmation!
Unfortunately I made a mistake and wrote Outlook 2003, although we are 
using 2007. So please allow me to ask again: Do you know if it works 
with 200*7*, too? Or only as of 2013?

I do not understand that; when syncing is done, aren't the data copied 
to both places, isn't that the very essence of syncing? So that after 
syncing I would just dump the Outlook and continue accessing my data on 
Kolab via Roundcube and/or another client such als Kontact?
Or do you mean that you just connect to Kolab via ActiveSync so to 
receive your email via ActiveSync - but not the calendar/tasks/contacts 
which continue to live on your local Outlook?

Thank you for helping me!

Cheers
