Clients for Kolab2
From Kolab wiki
One of the major advantages of the Kolab Groupware server are the various clients that are capable of working together with it. While you can use just any e-mail client in order to receive, send and manage your e-mails on the server the following overview is concerned with the groupware features supported by each client. After all the groupware features are what makes the Kolab server interesting.

Full Kolab 2 support
A client "fully supporting" the Kolab server needs to be able to work with the addresses, events and tasks stored on the server. Ideally the client is capable of handling invitations and notes, too. The list of possible features is rather large for any groupware client and you can expect each and every one to have its own little advantages and disadvantages.
If you want to get a quick summary of the different features supported by the clients you should check the feature matrix:
GNU/Linux and Unix
Kolab is Free Software and most installations are based on the GNU/Linux OS. Consequently there are powerful clients available for this OS. This section does not list the web or OS-independent clients but these are of course also available.
Microsoft Windows
It is no problem to use a Kolab client on windows usually Outlook. If you use Outlook you will have to buy a proprietory connector. Again this section does not list the web or OS-independent clients but these are of course also available.
OS independent
These are clients that run on any common operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux):
Web based
These are web based clients that should be usable using any common browser.
Partial Kolab 2 support
As mentioned already you should be able to configure just any e-mail client for sending and receiving mails over the Kolab server. For some frequently used clients we did collect corresponding instructions here. Other clients might just support a tiny fraction of the groupware features provided by the Kolab server. These are also mentioned here.
Microsoft Windows
- Microsoft Outlook Express (email only)
OS independent
