Many thanks to Sean and Paul for the suggestions.
I've tried egroupware, which looks good, but I couldn't get
Thunderbird/Lightning to talk to it.
I'm having a go at SOGo, although compiling it on Ubuntu looked
daunting, so I'm installing CentOS on a VM so that I can just install
the RPM.
I'll report back with progress.

Chris
