SyncKolab is a Thunderbird extension that reads a selected Imap folder and synchronizes it with the local address book and calendar. It uses vCard/iCal/xml as format. Using shared-IMAP folders or a Kolab server (www.kolab.org) you can achieve almost fully collaboration functionality (there is an autosync option).
It is a good idea to install lightning http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/index.html in order to be able to use the full functionality (calendar and task sync) - but it works without it if you only need contact sync.
SyncKolab is compatible with a lot of other mail/calendar clients see http://www.kolab.org/about-kolab-clients.html .
Make sure that you specify a different folder for each type of sync (one for calendar one for contacts and one for tasks) - mixing types is not a good idea!
For nightly builds check out htttp://www.gargan.org/extensions/ - there is also a mideum active mailing list at http://synckolab.mozdev.org/list.html.
Calendar and Task sync are a little unstable (Also because lightning isnt yet fully stable). It should work for most entries - if you find problems please submit a bug to http://synckolab.mozdev.org/bugs.html
If you enable Leak Monitor+Lightning it may cause Thunderbird to crash.
