Calendars and stuff
I just downloaded the thunderbird extension ‘lightning’ which adds a nice calendar to thunderbird and makes it compete even better with outlook. It’s only version 0.1 so extra functionalities need to be implemented but the basic calendar functions are there.
Since both google calendar and lightning (there is also a standalone version of lightning called sunbird) use ical as the import/export protocol, automatic syncing would make this a perfect combination!
