How to get rid of Microsoft Outlook

There're factors that make me unable to use Mozilla Thunderbird as my email client. At first, Thunderbird doesn't have built-in calendar program. However, we still have Lightning extension to compensate for it. The more serious problem is Lightning calendar is unable to sync Calendar with Nokia Phone. Nokia PC Suite will only sync with MS Outlook Calendar.

So, to solve this problem. I have to sync Lightning calendar with Outlook calendar. The ugly thing is they can not be direcrtly synchronized with each other. It needed a lot more effort and tools to accomplish the synchronization. Don't you worry, I've sum it for you .. Howevre, this is not for newbies. You need to be familiar with Google and Extension a bit to understand what needed to be done.
