Thunderbird with lightning or calendar extension or sunbird is vary far
from Outlook or Evolution if we mean personal information management and
calendaring functionality. Actually there are no windows software, which
can compete with Outlook or Evolution as calendaring programs, in spite
Thunderbird is much better as e-mail client.
It was nice to read in ooo conference 2006 papers, that at least someone
mentions plans to integrate Thunderbird with Lightning into
openoffice.org, but I don't think it will increase competitiveness of
openoffice.org somehow, if Lightning will not look and act more like
Outlook and Evolution. I'm sure that new calendaring software for
openoffice.org should be elaborated, may be on the basis of existing
Lightning extension. It is the most lacking feature in openoffice.org
since it was removed from staroffice.

Well, it's not in openoffice. It's called Thunderbird. Thunderbird primarily
is an email client, but Thunderbird's address books integrates beautifully with
openoffice. Grant it, Thunderbird has an address book, but you can create many
for different sorts, i.e. clients, personal, friends, Church, etc. Thunderbird
does not have a calendar. You can either get an integrated extension calendar
for Thunderbird. Or, you can get Sunbird, which is a stand alone calendar.
Both Thunderbird and Sunbird are products of Mozilla. (www.mozilla.org) All
Mozilla products, as well as Openoffice are open source software. (They're free)

I see that a program to manage email like Outlook has not been created! Why?
Are you planning to create it?
Thanks
