No, it should be the same.

1: Offline mode is like pop3: You download something and it's deleted from 
the server. That isn't available in any IMAP implementation in KMail. The 
one in HEAD and kroupware branch is Disconnected IMAP. (Yes, I know, I'm 
nitpicking here.)

2) The groupware functionality works with any IMAP server, but Kolab also 
gives you Sieve, LDAP, integrated web administration, shared folders etc. 
So you don't really *need* a Kolab server - it will work on your existing 
IMAP server. But it might be a good idea to consider one.

Real men don't back up anything. They sweat when it goes bad.

No, not unless you want a translated client. The i18n module is optional 
for all KDE packages.
