I am omnipresent
I'm playing with an interesting modification of Thunderbird right now, called Spicebird. It's available for Windows and Linux, and it's sort of a hybrid of the Tbird client I'm used to and Outlook.
It has an integrated calendar, RSS/widgets and support for Jabber-based IM, which is handy if you have a GMail account and, in the near future, AIM/ICQ. It uses a tabbed presentation, which I kind of like. Supposedly they're going to try for Exchange compatibility. Who the hell knows if they'll get there; the current calendar doesn't even look like it supports iCal.

Since I don't bother to keep a calendar and I don't IM by choice, I'm clearly not the person this program was meant for, but some of you might be interested to know that it's out there.
