Bill, In addition to what you said, I can create entries for the classes that I teach, and set them for certain days of the week and have them show up on those days. If I do this in the native calendar, it puts that class on every day, and it is a hassle to then delete said appointments on the weekend for the entire 3-6 week duration of the class. Setting these custom recurring events is one big thing that unfortunatley I haven't found in a lot of email clients, including the native calendar. Sure, you can set events to happen each week or every other week, but you cannot set an event to occur only on Tuesday and Thursday, unless you create a separate appointment.
