Problem

Solution

Be careful about the $TMP env var, the script uses it. In some distro (ie Mandriva) this var can be /root/tmp and not /tmp (and of course, /root/tmp should not be 777 !)

What is happening to my emails where are they?

See this explanation to see what path your emails follow from sending to receiving.

Email Account is not being removed

You deleted an email account and you see that the kolabDeleteFlag is set but the account is not being removed.
Try the following:
/kolab/etc/rc kolabd stop
Login to cyradm an remove the account manually:
/kolab/bin/cyradm localhost -u manager
dm user/username@hostname.tld
/kolab/etc/rc kolabd start

My problem persists
