Yep. I use Thunderbird (am currently using the developer release for 
TB3) and Lightning (The Calendaring extension).

For music I use Songbird. It is based on the Mozilla Gecko engine and is 
extremely extensible. There are lots of plugins etc. It isn't perfect, 
podcast support is missing currently but on the roadmap, but it is 
pretty good IMHO.
