PHP based development

A large part of the features provided by Kolab Server rests on Kolab specific PHP libraries provided by Horde. Horde, the web client, also uses these package for accessing the Kolab server.

• Kolab Format - A PHP PEAR package providing methods for reading/writing the Kolab Format
• Kolab Server - A PHP PEAR package for accessing the Kolab Server LDAP database
• Kolab Storage - A PHP PEAR package for handling user data stored in IMAP
• Kolab FreeBusy - A PHP PEAR package providing free/busy information
• Kolab Filter - A PHP PEAR package providing mail filters responsible for mailing policies and resource management
