Digital Transition » Thunderbird + Google Calendar

Viewing the date of the post, it’s nothing new, but I only found this out recently.
This Mozilla Thunderbird plugin allows bi-directional sync between Thunderbird/Lightning and Google Calendar.

I love Thunderbird because it’s free, easy to use, extensible and so easy to backup.
Since Google Mail allows IMAP access to its mail service and a way to synchronize its calendar, you can completely replace Outlook with a free and better solution.
