Is this project still active at all?

Unfortunately, you aren't wrong.  I had problems with Irony a few months 
back and there is very little hope in getting stuff working.  There are 
a few people in the community that are really helpful, but sometimes it 
isn't enough.

I still have servers running Centos 7 + Kolab, which are basically just 
used as IMAP servers.

Any new servers I have deployed are running Dovecot + Postfixadmin 
(https://github.com/postfixadmin/postfixadmin)

I have experimented with Nextclould's mail interface which seems to be 
getting a lot of attention.
