I use Thunderbird exclusively on my linux-systems.
I also feel the Lightning-addin for calendars in T-bird needs "some" work to 
be usable.

While I don't use my Owncloud for mail, only used as a cloud storage, I have 
however used Evolution. In that context Evolution with CentOS sucks. It's just 
plain ugly and not a bit intuitive IMHO.

My workaround is to just connect to my calendars (Google Calendar) with a web 
browser.

YMMV of course.
