My favourite choice for mail has long been Thunderbird, but I’ve never really found a calendar application which I was satisfied with. This has changed, thanks to the Lightning extension for Thunderbird. This solution, together with the appropriate provider, integrates Google Calendar with Thunderbird. For some reason, I’ve never really found the web-based solutions usable, but integrated in Thunderbird, it’s much better, and I’m actually using a calendar now – something I haven’t been doing for quite a while.
Of course, this has in no way stopped me from scheduling several meetings at the same time, but now I at least find out about it a little sooner.
As an extra bonus, it’s possible to find public holiday calendars, for example the Danish holidays. Sweet.
