Kolab is a groupware server

"This is the homepage of the Kroupware Project which aims to develop a Free
Software groupware solution across Free Software platforms (GNU/Linux,
FreeBSD, etc) and proprietary ones (NT 4, W2000, etc). The server Kolab
runs on a free platform and on some other Unices. "

and 

Kontact is a groupware client (Splash screen)
