Kolab Service Does not Start/No Emails Can be Sent/Received

[Bob Jones]

After changing your command line to what runs without dumping help (i had to change -w to -W, also the server is not configured for starttls), 
below is what I get:

ldapsearch -H ldap://<host>:<port> -D 'uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,dc=abc,dc=com' -Z  -b 'dc=abc,dc=com' -x -W       

   ldap_start_tls: Protocol error (2)
           additional info: unsupported extended operation
   Enter LDAP Password: 
   ldap_bind: No such object (32)

I have no idea - but ldapwhoami an my kolab gives (another) error.
I've just tried:

ldapsearch -H ldap://<host>:389 -D 'uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,dc=abc,dc=com' -Z -b 'dc=abc,dc=com' -x -w 

That works for me and lists all users and groups and Special Users...
