MmmmJoel writes "After months of delays, and on the heels of OpenGroupware.org, version 1.0 of Kolab has finally been released. Commisioned by the German government to develop a Free Software groupware solution, Kolab is the server piece of Kroupware, which will be integrated into the KDE 3.2 desktop. The Kolab KDE Client was released concurrently at 1.0. This release has been announced on Slashdot before, with an initial planned release for December, 2002."

and i quote from their site:
Warning: Remove all of your "traditional" IMAP accounts before trying KMail/Kroupware or use a new $KDEHOME or even better: user. KMail/kroupware will mangle your traditional IMAP folders!

  That's not a bug, it's just an Exchange compatibility feature.

  I don't know why they would say that, unless it's part of some special functionality in the KMail client. The server side is built on top of Postfix and Cyrus:

Packaging is quite odd: RPM's for Debian ! (Score:2, Interesting)

built for debian...
In the name of distribution neutrality...
it uses an open package, portable format "OpenPKG", which installs a parallel build environment (it's own gcc, binutils, etc...)
beside the linux one, packages for OpenPKG are RPM 4 based.
sounds quite painful to install.
