Checkout http://www.opengroupware.org It's lead developer is the author of the GroupDAV spec. GroupDAV works for Thunderbird's addressbook and a GroupDAV connector is available for Evolution. A commercial plugin is available to connect M $-Outlook to OpenGroupware; it is a real MAPI provider not some sync thing, and it supports offline mode. I believe there is also someone looking at creating a GroupDAV plugin for Outlook - http://mail.opengroupware.org/pipermail/users/2007-May/017778.html Allot of exciting things happening over there.
