from the konzept page:
        
        The client application stores contacts in the IMAP sub folder
        named “Contacts” (German: “Kontakte”) on the Kolab server. The
        actual entries are represented as multi-part MIME emails with
        included vCard address data as MIME parts.
        
This won't work with evolution (and besides, i think it's a horrible,
horrible idea, especially when they're building a client that already
supports LDAP.)

Well, when I say it won't work it won't appear as a contact database to
evolution.  It'll appear to be what it is, an IMAP folder with email in
it, with each message containing a vcard.
