Well... fixing in that way the passwd module allowed my multidomain
users to change password which is the functionality that passwd module
provide.
It's true that Horde doesn't fully support kolab in the groupware
functionality but basic, standard feature like:
- filtering management trough SIEVE
- password change trough passwd
- ldap addressbook trough turba
- email trough imp
- email folder sharing trough imp

work perfectly because are standard protocol (imap/sieve/ldap) and imho
should be considered supported.

The modules that use the Kolab 2 XML data format and that still need to
be supported are the one that provide specific groupware functionality:
- Kronolith for calendaring
- Turba for local addressbook (which store local addressbok in an imap
folder with kolab 2 xml data format)

I'm using Kolab primarly as an email platform because it really cut down
the system administrator cost of integrating, magaging, configuring
several piece of software to work togheter.
It include standard maintenance scripts for every piece of software it
use and it will also support in the near future automatic backup.

For the groupware functionality i'm still not using Kolab...
