Don't think I can do that with Exchange calendars.
Anyway, the CentOS6 version works fine, even coming from a 17.x profile, so there definitely is a problem with the CentOS5 version.
There are 2 known issues in the CentOS-5.10 version that work in the CentOS-6.5 version ... both these issues also exist in RHEL-5.10 (so they need to be fixed upstream):
1. The mozilla compiled lightning uses a newer glibc than is available in EL5 ... therefore it will not work with the EL5 Thunderbird. There is a thunderbird-lightning package in EPEL testing for EL5 (thunderbird-lightning-2.6.4-1.el5.x86_64.rpm) that should address this issue. The upstream mozilla compiled plugin works for EL6. Here is the EL5 x86_64 link to download:
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/testing/5/x86_64/
(Or install EPEL and turn on the testing repo and install thunderbird-lightning)
2. External http, https, and ftp Links may not work from thunderbird:

Specifically, if you modify the following options to true:
network.protocol-handler.warn-external.ftp network.protocol-handler.warn-external.http network.protocol-handler.warn-external.https
Then when clicking on a link, add this as the initial path:
/usr/lib64/thunderbird/open-browser.sh
(or /usr/lib/thunderbird/open-browser.sh if you are using the i386 arch)
Then it will work as expected.
Again, both of these issues also exist in RHEL-5.10 so need to be addressed upstream for a final fix.
