Does this mean that the tags feature is not ready for prime time yet and 
should not be used?

I am assuming I am only removing those files that contain the tag in 
question from the users Configuration directory?

In leu of this,  Is there a web site that one can go to to 
know/understand what are the outstanding issues, what's broke, what not 
to use, with a given version of Kolab?  In 20 plus years of installing 
and managing many different email systems, this is the most unorthodox 
email system I have come across from an information and support stand 
point.  It has been nearly impossible to find pertinent information for 
any question that has arisen during the installation and use of this 
software.

We are software developers/installers/maintainers and would like to 
contribute to fixes and the like with the kolab software but identifying 
a source of good information regarding the philosophy of the kolab 
environment, structure, etc.

Thanks
