This is nice to have some freedback. From which version are you
upgrading? The one in etch? (1.9.4-20060707.dfsg-2).

With which Debian release? I assume etch. I have not tested this yet,
I have just tested lenny.

Can you describe more precisely you upgrade process?

This works for me, without any patch, without a proxy. Are you using
kolab-webclient package? horde 3.2 ?

Yes, I have found this one yesterday. Will correct the packages soon.

It is ok to remove strtolower. But it is not tested. I will ask upstream.

The shared prefix is probably needed. Not sure about it (see
https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue1119). Will ask about it
also.

It is not packaged in debian: http://pear.php.net/package/Auth_SASL:
 pear install Auth_SASL

Note that this package is not needed. You can ignore those errors, or
replace line 124 of LMTP.php by:
if (true) {

I've filled it upstream: https://www.intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue3398

Can you reproduce the problem while running the kolabd daemon in
foreground (change debug to 1 in kolab.globals), and attach the log to
the bug.
