Back in the Old Old StarOffice 5.2 days, the office suite used to have a File Manager, Calendar and Email client. OO API still has the mail bits on the API for SMTP, Email handling libraries.
It would be interesting if there is a push to bring the PIM back and rebuild the bits. Base was developed using a more HTML-driven operation with more concentration on the using the workspace as a dashboard. In theory this way, it could be more mantainable to display and built interfaces like the one of Calendars and Email. We have talk with the people from KDE - Kolab which lately unveiled a 'Cloud service' which means we could develop a desktop client and they could provide a service for remote support like Calendaring Free/Busy and email hosting. There still many things needed like handling a certification store (currently AOO uses Mozilla's for their Digital signature). And update and create some of the calendar bits specially managing things like Ical, vcal, and other fileformats.
