To what extent does your openldap and kolab interact?
Just user account info?

I'm using ldap account manager to manage ldap.
Using the the kolab plugin in ldap account manager to manage kolab.
The most important part is kolabd sees there is a new account and creates the inbox.
If I can't get that part working it's not worth doing.
I'd rather not have to have to create mailboxes separately.

I use scripts to archive old accounts and remove the mail spools with cyradmin.

Been running kolab this way for a long time.
I've upgraded kolab a couple times and it's always challenging dealing with the ldap changes.
The mail spool is the easier part, just takes a while.
I've been working with cyrus imap a lot longer than kolab.
