We'll see what comes out of the new "MailCo", IMHO it should go into  
the full-Outlook-replacement direction (lovely).
Anyways, I guess TB + Lightning + the SOGo extensions are quite  
reasonable. Well, and if you want to target Windows, its the only  
real (FOSS) option currently (IMHO).

IMHO it looks better than ever because we have the TB/Lightning  
extensions, and they are actively maintained.
Some thing on MacOS. With iCal supporting CalDAV we are closer than  
ever with getting reasonable client support.

Evolution and Kontact would be great, but in the real world they
a) are not *that* relevant
b) have their "primary" backends (Kolab for KDE and Groupwise for Evo)

Greets,
   Helge

PS: of course there is always a place for real OGo like native  
clients, say the Consonance thing of Adam :-)
