On the client side, I find Kontact to be one of the most competent but 
frequently overlooked solutions (keeping in mind, of course, that 
everyone has different requirements). It supports both Kolab and 
Citadel as well as a bunch of others, including partial support (as in 
"it kinda works", not as in making official endorsements) for MS 
Exchange.

Kontact reportedly runs under Cygwin, and Klarälvdalens Datakonsult is 
working on a proper port for legacy MS Windows.
