Ximian Evolution might qualify as one? :-) For most enterprises, MS Outlook is the de facto expected and desired client, like it or loathe it, for this sort of "email plus calendaring plus contacts" setup. The (commercial) Bynari Insight Connector addin for Outlook handles this. It is IMO far from perfect as an overall email/ calendaring/ contacts solution, and has had some significant stability issues on the client in the past. But if you really need this functionality, it does get the job done. While officially Bynari will only support it when used with their "Insight Server", Insight Server is really a package of Postfix + Cyrus + Apache + ProFTPd and a pretty web-based management interface, so it can be used against Cyrus if you are willing to experiment a little.
