i've tried to change acl's with cyradm. with out success. acl's are set but 
folder stay invisible.

but i do not understand this. i've createt a kolab account and used imapsync. 
i thought that is is nothing but moving the mail with a MUA. foders are 
created with imap commands and mails are moved. there shoud be no difference. 
when i create a folder with a MUA i can see it. imap sync is a MUA too, as it 
uses an imap connection and imap commands ...

i know, but i can't subscribe to them as they are not displayed ...

hmm, i remember that one of the folders (more than 100 at all) is visible. i 
will check acl's an compare them to the others.
