As you might know, at work we left outlook for Thunderbird in combo with Exim, Cyrus IMAP and LDAP. Works very good (I even have written a How to on this). Add-ons are very usefull, as the can add nice options.
Because our company works in project style, meaning all files are stored and grouped for each project, I had to make it clear to our people, they have to save important mails into there project directories. Also because all important communication needs to be kept for 10 years. Doing this within the mailbox, didn't seem to be the right solution.
ImportExportTools let's you save mails with an .eml extention and without breaking the attachments (smartsave fails on this). You can also use it to backup the complete mailbox, but our goal is only to save those important mails and classify them within the project the belong.

How did you do the calendar? At my work they are just considering the opposite ... going from the above to exchange and by extent outlook ... :(
The reasons for this are that planning meetings is easy with an integrated calendar, reserving meetingrooms etc ...
The only thing you will need is lightning and a DAV server. That way you can put the ics files on a server and use calendars ith sererale people together. I think I have made an howto on this.
Mail me if you want it.
hm ok thats also how we share calendars now, but that is terribly slow we find ... (and i have to agree if you have a calendar with daily +5 items then it gets really slow my idea)
Slow? strange thing, because it doesn't use much resources. We even have 1 callendar shared over 25 people without any problems (even with alarms going off on every computer) What is going slow? updates? It's set to 30 minutes refresh, but you can refresh your self.
If making an appointment is going slow, there must be something else wrong. (proxy-server, firewall, dns, webdav config?)
