I was just noticing your feature request. Might I suggest logging into bugzilla and entering a feature request? http://bugzilla.citadel.org/. This way it won't get lost in the chatter online here. It would be great if you ran out of excuses not to use Citadel.

My niece who's 7 has been given by her grandmother an iPod, a Wii and every other gadget imaginable. She uses the landline infinitely more than I did as a teenager. I shudder at the thought of her with a cell phone. It's probably coming very fast.
On the other hand. Life is very different having a cell phone. Calling to say you're going to be late, early, etc... The ability to be in the car and call and say "i was driving by and thought of you and thought I might stop by.. What are you up to?" doesn't happen without cell phones. Calling your spouse to say "We're out of milk, can you grab some" is much better than waiting until they get home. There's a real difference between need, want and nice to have.
So you want something that's truly open source? You don't want to have to pay for the commercial version. You want something that's not new on the block and looking for funding. How about a software package where the leadership is devoted to the open source mindset, beliefs and methodologies?
Software that actually works. It's in use. It's actively being maintained. As new technology is released, there's a proven track record of it being incorporated into the software.
Then you're really making a mistake if you don't look at citadel.
Email, Calendaring, Contacts, multiple interfaces, multiple standards compliant protocols, instant messaging and it all can run on one server. But wait.. It scales! So if you want to run multiple servers and have them communicate, go ahead. It's built right in.
