I thought Calendar was part of the Mozilla nightlies. For a full-featured App, Mozilla is the way to go.

[quote="ehume"][quote="Olli"][quote="ehume"]Why not just use Outlook?[/quote]
Hahaha, sorry *wipes tear*, where to start? :D[/quote]Where to start is what the original poster asked for--an integrated app that handles calendar and email. It's a business thing. Back when I was online in an office, I would get these memos about meetings and stuff like that on Outlook. Also (shudder), task lists. Basically paperwork without the paper. Lotus Notes does it, too. There are other apps like it, but they all come bundled with expensive (for a single user) office network packages.
So dry the tear you wiped. Until Calendar is part of Moz, there may not be an open source answer for gleevec, or even an inexpensive commercial alternative to Outlook that will suit his purposes.[/quote]
Thanks for the serious reply. I have no intention of changing my OS just because there is no integrated mail/task/calendar client that is open-source for winXP. And I am not willing to settle for a minimalist email client either. Thanks for your replies, but for now I will stick with Outlook since it is the only thing out there that meets my needs.

Or use Yahoo Mail, which has a calendar function and stuff.

Wow, it has something better the Bayesian filtering implement in Mozilla mail? http://www.mozilla.org/mailnews/spam.html
I'm truly impressed.
Or did you just read the hype on their website?

Can you actually filter mail with it now? Or does it still only mark the mail as junk/not junk/un-filtered.

Stefan - If you've actually tried Pegasus mail and find its filtering / classification rules inadequate, I apologize.
But if you haven't tried it, don't knock it. I've been using Pegasus for about 5 years. IMO, the web page understates its capabilities.

Have you looked into stuff like phpGroupware?
It's another approach, but does pretty much all you want.
It runs on your webserver, has a calender. Have a look on freshmeat.net, cause the official site http://www.phpgroupware.org/ is rebuilding at the moment.

Wow this threads back up again. I think this came down to the application requested not existing. There is no Windows port of an OSS Outlook clone with Calendar/Tasks etc... that exists seperately from a browser AFAIK. Mozilla's suite is getting there, but I don't know how far along Calendar is so I don't want to give an exact progress report.

I've actually also gone away from using Outlook etc in favour of Yahoo, which has a calendar function and is obviously synchronized all the time between different computers, because it's all on Yahoo.
I've also been discovering another technology: a knock-em-dead combination like PHP and MysQL or HTML and CSS, the carbon-filament rod and cellulose-fiber film allow you to write directly on your visual interface, which is solar powered and highly portable. The user has complete formatting control. The advantages go on and on. Apparently In Europe this has been used for decades at least.
But it doesn't connect with POP/SMTP servers.

But what is the price?

They are using web beacons ('pixels') to track users OUTSIDE of Yahoo's

You can opt out of this program by going here:

After you click on the "opt out" link, pay attention to the next page.
The gray button that comes up CANCELS the opt out,
so don't click it; just close the browser tab or the browser window
instead.
Remember that it is yahoo . com
