Hello,

I had a hard time also. But rest assured, the system requiremts are 
quite minimal compared to Exchange ;)

I run a small / medium instance with 50 accounts on a 2GB/2vCores VM. I 
think it might also run with only 1GB. I think this setup could well 
handle 10x this much.

There is at least a partitioning scheme; though it might be a little bit 
to 'physical' for a VM. [1] and some on storage tiering; though I found 
this does not work [3]

Keep in mind, your Data directory, so the largest and fasted storage, 
should be assigned to /var/spool/imap.

I think the dev distro of Kolab is EL, my VM runs El7 (centos 7.1) - no 
problems (except for the occasional imapd segfaults..., this seems to be 
platform unrelated) [2].

HTH,
Daniel
