In /etc/kolab/kolab.conf I have:

,----
| ; Bind DN and password used for services. The DN should have read and search
| ; privileges only, but should be able to read all relevant parts of the tree.
| ;
| ; These credentials are used by, among others, Postfix, Wallace, programs that

| ; API, Roundcube, Syncroton).
| service_bind_dn = uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,%(base_dn)s
| service_bind_pw = <moat_secret_password>
`----

Most likely the bind_pw is wrong. Did you merge the configuration with
"rpmconf -a"?  If you don't have a backup of that file , Look for
bind_dn and bind_pass in the files in /etc/roundcubemail.

Hope that helps.

Jochen
