This is very neat wrt this for thunderbird:

http://www.gargan.org/extensions/synckolab.html

"Sync Kolab

SyncKolab was written to add kolab functionality to thunderbird. It reads a
selected Imap folder and synchronizes it with the local address book and
calendar.
It has been tested under Thunderbird 1 for Windows and Linux.

What is Kolab?

What it does is, that it loads all your contacts (from a selected address
book) as well as events and todos (from the selected calendar), and
synchronizes them with a selected imap folder. Where every contact is
stored as an vcard and every event,todo as iCalendar. For more information
http://kolab.org/
The idea behind this is, that you can now have your contacts+calendar
entries stored on the imap server. so you can actually have the same
addresses on more than one computer. The kolab project has a groupware
server that uses imap to exchange calendar entries and vcards. But you can
also setup simple sharing in your office if you have f.e. cyrus by
symlinking shared folders. "
