Mozilla Lightning

Lightning is the calendar add-on for Mozilla Thunderbird. If you don't know what Thunderbird is, I'll tell you that it is the best email client in this planet. You might familiar with Lotus Notes or Microsoft Outlook. They are all suck, in a way.

In large organization, meetings and tasks are handled with "ics" file or calendaring and scheduling information. You'll get some invitations via email. How can you remember them all ? No way ... it's when calendar program is needed. I'm fed up with Outlook 2007 because it hangs quite often so I switch back to my favorite Mozilla Thunderbird.

Thunderbird itself doesn't have the calendar ability. It comes with add-on name "Lightning".
Thanks to opensource community for great product.
