"Spicebird is an open-source platform for collaboration. To start with, we integrated e-mail, calendar and instant messaging into one suite. The features available on the website are for Version 1.0, but we do have plans to release intermediate versions (one of which will be available really soon. Our roadmap and anonymous access to SVN will accompany the release)

Spicebird is based on the Mozilla Platform and shares code with Thunderbird and Sunbird. In the process we do contribute to the Thunderbird and Sunbird. We are not competing with Thunderbird or any other open source product. Using Spicebird does imply using the same code base! The number of email users is huge and they have varying needs. We are here to provide more choice to the users of email and collaboration suites.

Spicebird is not a finished product yet. It is still in its alpha, preview, proof of concept or what ever you like to call it. We will give a 0.4 version out soon (really! very soon). We have been using it for more than a month and and it is fairly stable - at least does not lose your mails ;)

It does not yet have the Content Management System, Wiki or a Blog integration, but we expect to have them by the time 0.7 is out. The 0.4 has a new, probably easy-to-use and simple user interface. It has email, news groups, RSS feeds, calendar, tasks and instant messaging. "

There's a video preview on the site - just click on the program image.
