Most of the stuff we miss when using Thunderbird is all aspects of the Calendar integration, editing your own calendar, viewing shared folders and calendars, setting permissions on mail folders and calendars, free/busy scheduling, filtering rules editing / out of office setting. If you can get those implemented somehow I'd almost be willing to kiss you, though maybe a monetary donation to your project would be more appropriate
IMHO the way to do this would be to add CalDAV support to Scalix, and use
the CalDAV client support already present in Lightning. This also would allow the
use of other fat clients (Apple iCal, Evolution for example).
CalDAV seems to be the wave of the future so that sounds good to me. There's still the issue with setting permissions on folders and calendars, at least in Thunderbird proper (I don't know if Lightning using CalDAV allows you to share out your calendar or how fine grained the access controls at your disposal through Cal DAV are). Same thing with server-side rules and Out Of Office settings, those are missed in Thunderbird as well.
