Well, I'm developing OpenGroupware Coils.  Evolution is the first client
I test with.  But it isn't a released product/project, yet.

It is a port of the Objective-C OpenGroupware server which is a PITA to
get installed on modern distributions [GNUStep being a mess].

Besides OpenGroupware there is Scalable OpenGroupware [which isn't
OpenGroupware despite the eponymous name], E-Groupware, and Citadel.
All support GroupDAV and should work to some extent with Evolution - I
haven't tested any of them in ages.

I'm not "paranoid" but I do -1 proprietary solutions, such as gmail.
Placing ones data in a vendor-specified proprietary vat just doesn't
make sense.
