We use autoloading. So a reference like "new Horde_Group_Kolab()" in a  
situation where the class file has not been loaded before will trigger  
autoloading. The autoloader will then convert this to  
Horde/Group/Kolab.php and load the file into the parser.

It might be more helpful to log a bug though and describe what you  
want to achieve. Horde_Group_Kolab is probably still buggy and needs  
some love.

"kolab_webmail" was intended to be an easy wrapper for installing  
Horde preconfigured for Kolab. It is not completed though and there is  
no release available (yet). So the only "official" way is configuring  
Horde for Kolab yourself via the Admin frontend. If kolab_webmail  
works for you this means that we should try to finish the few missing  
bits and pieces though. I would also suggest to log a bug with any  
improvements or suggestions you might have for kolab_webmail.

Concerning Horde/Kolab in general: Horde 5.0 delivers at least a fully  
functional Kolab integration again and that is a big step forward. But  
we also still lack the resources to convert this into a completely  
polished thing. So any help from the community (patches, testing etc.)  
is greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Gunnar
