That's right. Thunderbird by itself is just an email client. What you are looking for is an integrated mail, calendering, note taking ...etc application. Here's a list you can go through: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_personal_information_managers
I've used evolution[1] and zimbra[2] both in corporate environments and have found both good for my limited use of such things. I had also used Mozilla lightning[3] for thunderbird which you might also want to evaluate. Note, that you can also search for additional 'addons'[4] to Mozilla Thunderbird for things that you miss about Outlook.
