Clients for CalDAV/CardDAV/IMAP/SMB/VPN

Client Chart - Unempirical and based solely in opinion obtained by experience
Client CalDAV CardDAV IMAP SMB IPSec/L2TP Pros Cons Notes
RoundCube Excellent Excellent Excellent N/A N/A User-friendly,max feature<=>protocol support poor user experience on old computers/slow network/small monitor Costs about 20 Euros for the plugins for caldav and carddav.
SquirrelMail None None Excellent N/A N/A much faster than roundcube. no DAV support very much worth having if serving from a slow connection or if users want it and don't need calendar/address book
Thunderbird/Lightning Good Excellent Excellent N/A N/A Fully featured, intuitive gui more than 5 caldav feeds starts to be risky on some computers some users believe lightning has ghosts
Evolution Excellent Excellent Excellent N/A N/A Supports many protocols Windows version mostly undeveloped and buggy Only tested by me, have not seen it under load
eM Client Excellent Excellent Excellent N/A N/A user-friendly, easy to configure unknown This has only ever been tested in production in a small office, but has performed admirably to date
Outlook Untested Untested Meh N/A N/A Users like it Requires 3rd party plugins for caldav/carddav, poor imap performace, very expensive Outlook 2013 consumes huge bandwidth for imap. ical4ol trial a bit hard to figure but works
Mac Mail/Calendar Excellent Excellent Excellent N/A N/A user-friendly, works reliably ? As good as anything else I have tried
Android Excellent Untested Excellent Good Yes feature support is good Does not fit well in typical AD security model App store contains all the tools you need
IPhone Excellent Excellent Excellent Untested Yes required protocols are all(?) handled natively Does not fit well in typical AD security model App store contains all the tools you need
Blackberry None? None? Meh None? None? ? ... Enterprise version does fit well with AD environments
