Partial Solution: Contacts can be synced via Ovi Suite
Outlook <MfE> N900 <OviSuite> Thunderbird
It COULD work for Lightning if Nokia programmed it. Ovi Suite requires Outlook or "Windows Calendar"

a workaround :
with the easy debian you have all the debian stuff at disposal.
1. you'll find icedove. this /is/ thunderbird. the different name is just a branding dispute about some pictures but it is just thunderbird.
2. there is claws which can handle exchange and handles small displays better.
3. there is evolution with loads of plugins.
[nb: could the ones maintaining the easy debian please put the pinning straight(dependencies are awfully broken)? sorry, but it has to be done upstream. ]

Sorry, but I'm referring to syncing my N900 with two different Windows PCs: Outlook at work and Thunderbird/Lightning at home.
I have a workaround for The Calendar
N900<MfE>Outlook<GoogleCalendarSync>GoogleCalendar <ProviderForGoogleCalendar>Lightning
A bit kludgy, but functional.

if you can run your own funambol server somewhere accessible by both it will work
n900syncevolution<--->funambol<---->lightning+funambol plugin/outlook+funambolplugin
this will do contacts,calendar, todo, notes
A few caveats:
If you want to use the funambol server with mysql you need to d a few tweaks to make connections persistent and schema correct, just google
never mind I found it again for you
http://markmail.org/message/oqbsvv3raljwezft
syncevolution(syncml client) on the n900 unmerges my contacts before syncing, kind of a PITA, but maybe I only have 8 or 10 people I do over different protocols simultaneoously so it is not too big of a deal

You could use syncevolution for n900 to TB (works for me)
N900-SyncEvolution-Google-Googlecontacts-Thunderbird but I dont use mfe & Outlook so would not know the Outlook end but I think mfe's protocol is stricter than syncevolution and might have issues.
Cheers

I am very happy with MfE and my ability to Sync 500+ Contacts and 5000 Calendar entries at work with Outlook. When I'm home I'd like to Sync with (or even push to ) Thunderbird/Lightning. Any hints as to how this might work???
Thanks.
