I'm curious why you didn't base this on Kolab [0]? It looks like you share a lot of common components [1], but they've already done the integration work and added additional features.

I'm trying to build a system that is simple and auditable. Mail-in-a-Box is also really a system configuration project and not a project to build a better UI. So the goals are very different.

For instance on auditing, from looking at Kolab's source code I have no idea what kind of security settings are used. In Mail-in-a-Box I try to make these sorts of things clear and highly commented in the setup script.
