I've migrated my old man away from Outlook and over to the "Zimbra Desktop" client (windows). I use 
that for the ZImbra integration (Linux / OSX).

I also have the account registered in Thunderbird, but I have not bothered to try the Calendar as 
the Zimbra app does the job.

There are a few minor annoyances with the Zimbra desktop app, but it's well enough put together that 
they are tolerable. I never managed to see eye to eye with Evolution. It just felt like a solution 
looking for a problem.

We only use it for the company mail, so I don't have to struggle with high volume lists. I use 
thunderbird and dovecot IMAP for my personal stuff (and a huge .procmailrc)
