Some progress. I found some errors in pykolab.log and corrected them. That 
caused some messages to go through. There are still some errors I am unable to 
figure out.

Firstly:

pykolab.conf WARNING Option kolab/domain_sync_interval does not exist in config 
file /etc/kolab/kolab.conf, pulling from defaults


Yet, here's my config:

[kolab]
imap_backend = cyrus-imap
auth_mechanism = ldap
primary_domain = customdesigns.ca
default_locale = en_US
sync_interval = 300
domain_sync_interval = 600


Then there's this:


2014-08-31 19:45:43,569 pykolab.wallace ERROR Module resources.execute() 
failed on message '/var/spool/pykolab/wallace/resources/incoming/tmpy6zUa0' 
with error: Traceback (most recent call last):

    result_filepath = modules.execute(module, filepath)

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/email/utils.py", line 105, in getaddresses
    all = COMMASPACE.join(fieldvalues)
TypeError



Any help is appreciated!
