Mozilla Sunbird 1.0 Beta-Calendar application from the creator of Firefox

If you're a fan of the Firefox web browser then there's a good chance that
you'll like Sunbird which has been made by the same developer, Mozilla.
Unfortunately, not all of Mozilla's software is as good as Firefox but
Sunbird is still a worthwhile cross-platform calendar application that's
built upon Mozilla's XUL language. Note that Sunbird is still very much a
work in progress and as such, even the name of the application could change
soon according to Mozilla. The interface of Mozilla Sunbird is very simple.
Adding an event simply involves clicking on the 'Add Event' box in the top
left-hand corner. The same goes for New Tasks. There's also a powerful search
tool that finds events by keyword. Like most of Mozilla's products, it also
seems very safe and allows you to set a password to access it. You can also
extend Sunbird with a series of free add-ons from the Sunbird site. On the
downside, Sunbird doesn't feature integration with either iCal or Google
Calendar, which you'd expect as standard really. You can, however, export the
calendar. It also doesn't seem to be updated very often and looks like that
Mozilla have put it on the back-burner for now. *However, if you use both
Firefox and Mozilla's e-mail client Thunderbird, Sunbird is an ideal calendar
component although most would probably be better sticking to Outlook's
calendar.*Download *Mozilla Sunbird 1.0 Beta* in Softonic
