Why I switched from Mac Mail to Thunderbird
Tuesday May 13, 2008
I love Mac Mail, I have used it every day for the last 2 years. And to date, I am still pleased with this e-mail client. But the only thing that I miss in Mac Mail is the ability for it to be integrated with a calendar service from Sun. I want to be able to view my mail and calendar in the same application, and so far I have not found how to do this with Mac Mail. And until today, I did not find how to do this on a Mac, period. However...
Today I found a link on Sun's intranet explaining how you can install a plug-in, or extension into Thunderbird that enables you to view exactly that: your mail and your calendar in the same window. Even better, if you change something in Thunderbird it is updated on Namefinder, and vice versa. Exactly what I was looking for! What is it called? Lightning :-)
In case you are wondering how to do this, I can only recommend to visit this link where all is explained.
Will I never go back to Mac Mail? Never say never, I got married for the 2nd time 9 days ago, and I always said I would never do that again ;-) But for the moment I will give Thunderbird my preference, and I will certainly let you know if I switch back.
Oh, and if someone from Sun IT is reading this, I would really love an integration with iCal, this would help calendar management on my soon to arrive iPhone as well ;-)
