Hi Thomas,

I can speak only for the rpm-based release of Kolab 3.2 for CentOS:

the setup process itself completed without a problem. On the other hand,
the configuration of kolab 3.2 depends mainly for what environment do
you want to use kolab.
In my case it is a multi-domain setup which I achieved with TBits
scripts [1] (at this point many thanks for your scripts!)

During the configuration I noticed some issues, yes, but most of them
got resolved with the help of this list and the documentation on [2].
Here are some of this issues:

1. kolab mailbox-cleanup throws a error [3]

2. FreeBusy is not working [4]

3. when updating cyrus-imapd yum takes way to long to complete the
cleanup and verify process. First I though yum hang and canceled the
update process (which was a big mistake leading in a broken Kolab/Cyrus
installation) [5]

4. roundcube is very slow. I went so far installing a imapproxy and like
someone else on this list noticed, disabling the cache improves
performance a lot.

5. deleted mailboxes from the webadmin doesn't get deleted in kolab. I
had to manually delete them from the CLI with kolab delte-mailboxes

6. when using shared folders you cannot chose the shared mail address
from Settings -> Identities -> Add Identity to send mails on behalf of
the shared mail address [6]


So far this are the only issues I've encountered.
