Try SOGo. I use it for about one year and it fits my needs. A great web
interface (firefox, knoqi is not usable) and by default plugins for
thunderbird (up to 3.1 only - so sadly not usable with current fedora
thunderbird). With new kdepim2 you can use contacts, calendars and mails
from SOGo as well. kdepim1 can not use calendar and contacts from SOGo.
So with current fedora I use either the web interface for managing
contacts and calendars or thunderbird.

Iphone and ipod touch can use all the data by default (you have to
configure then seperately). For android there are plugins (CalCAV and
CardDAV) in the marked.

If you already use openLDAP you can continue using it with SOGo. I
recommend GOSa for administration of users in LDAP.
