Hello Gaël

Thanks for the feedback and regarding updates/changes to the 
documentation. Feel free to fork and modifiy our kolab documention on 
github and send us back a Merge Request.

1) tls_ca_dir

I wrote the upgrade guide, but tbh, both paramters tls_server_ca_dir and 
tls_client_ca_dir are rarely used. But the client one is more wrong the 
the server one. Here's why:

If you read the cyrus documention (which gets better every day), you'll 
see that tls_client_ca_dir is used for authenticating clients that are 
using customized issued certificates. I don't know about any "Kolab" 
users who're using client certificates for authentication). 
tls_server_ca_dir is used to verify the ssl certificate of other imap 
servers (which should apply in a murder/replication setup, afaik).

I'll leave it in the docs as it is. It's more likely that you verify the 
ssl certificate of your replication/murder servers compared to 
verification of your client issued certificates.

2) upgrade notes about restarting services

I've added a note to the git repository to make it more clear. It will 
be on the docs mainpage at a later point (when someone pushes the 
button).
