Quite simply, Lightning provides a calendar interface for Thunderbird, its part of the Mozilla Sunbird () project, and helps provide the Schedule interface which standalone Thunderbird is missing. Note: The version of the google provider at this time, requires Lightning version 0.7 or higher, and may not work with the one in the Gutsy repository under add/remove, so use the link above to download the latest version. And I use 2 of these pluginfrom has an old version, Try downloading Lightening from That is, people have written third party modules, which can be used to enhance the functionality of Thunderbird. One of Thunderbirds strengths however, is, like its cousin Firefox, it works on a plugin system. The software I use is Thunderbird, Its my preferred Mail client, as i use both POP and IMAP based mail accounts, this mail client doesn’t however come with any built in calendar function, which is a reason, so many people berate it, and state that “calendar functionality is required before this app can move forward”. Also the aim here, is to emulate some of the functionality of Outlook, which allows you to have access to multiple mail accounts in one location.

However, being a commercial application, this can be quite a pricey solution, especially, if your are looking for these features to manage yourself, or maybe just a few others.

One of the best apps available on Windows is MS Outlook, as a complete suite of apps to organize your life, with Mail, to do lists and a calendar application, which allows for scheduling of meetings, and your time, which will communicate happily with your Windows Mobile or Smartphone Device.
