Kolab newbie, how do I add mail users to a kolab domain?

Multi Domain can be used in two ways, as described on
https://docs.kolab.org/administrator-guide/configuring-the-kolab-server.html#adding-domains

If you choose the "Parent Domain Name Space", then you need to reload 
the webadmin gui, and select the new domain at the top right corner. it 
is a dropdown, but a little bit difficult to detect.

You also will need to adjust the Postfix LDAP configuration, as 
described here: 
https://docs.kolab.org/administrator-guide/configuring-the-kolab-server.html#configuration-considerations-for-multiple-domain-namespaces

You can have a look at my configuration script, perhaps it gives you 
some good ideas:
https://github.com/TBits/KolabScripts/blob/KolabWinterfell/kolab/initMultiDomain.sh
Please use it only if you understand what it does, I cannot give any 
guarantuee.

All the best,
   Timotheus
