We've recommended Thunderbird in the past (with some folks sticking with GMail, yours truly included), but unfortunately it doesn't meet all our needs.
Why?
All things considered, I like Thunderbird, but it has two main issues for us.
#1 - No integrated & centralized calendar.
What about the Sunbird/Lightning extension for the Thunderbird. I think that the number of manipulation to setup them will be the same with the amount of setup for Google Calendar.
It just _does not_ work. I use Gmail only for lists, Thunderbird for every other email. But calendaring in TB is just buggy as hell. And I've been trying for years, being the Mozilla fan that I am. It never really gets better :( So google calendar it is.
And as a small comment: Thunderbird is free (as in freedom) application and allows to do whatever manipulation with the code (and there are a bunch of thunderbird customization already available there) - thus if there is a need this need can solved by the community. - And Wikimedia could make a call for improvements in the code of TB, which I believe would have be taken into consideration by the developers. And more people could have used the results of that - thus generating a better and smoother application (as in the wikipedia articles).
+1. I really think Wikimedia should poke the Mozilla Foundation on that ;).
