My only advice regarding such packages (Spam Assasin and it's horde) is
"don't bother".

Nothing will, trust me.

There is the start of SyncML support for OGo, but it needs developers,
funding, etc...

Horde has some support for SyncML, but you have to be willing to run
really beta stuff, and I don't think it qualifies as 'real' groupware.
Horde is really nice, but in the end it still just a bunch of PHP
scripts.

Some possibility you might be able to hack something together via
Multisync.

Yes.

You don't *need* OpenLDAP to run OpenGroupware.  You use LDAP
authentication if you already have a DSA and/or want to provide
information to the myriad of LDAP clients.

No, OpenGroupware can authenticate against LDAP or its internal
PostgreSQL database;  it won't auth against IMAP (which is really a
brutal hack anyway, and only makes sense for really mail-centric
applications like webmail).
