LDAP isn't appropriate for doing things like public folders (as Exchange
implements).  You want to team LDAP up with other tools, such as an IMAP
server, to do this.

Don't know what tool handles task lists.  Perhaps a web
calendaring/scheduling application.  Are you targeting a specific client
application for people's desktop (i.e., gotta be MS Outlook), or are you
undecided there?
