Default Sony laptops?

Do you know of a good email client that incorporates a calendar that is
similar to Outlook?

Thunderbird has something called Sunbird. Reggie mentioned Lightning,
which I hadn't seen. I tested Sunbird, but rejected it.
I was looking for something with Outlook scheduling/reminding
capabilities but not e-mail, as I'm happy using Agent and Yahoo for
that.
I bought something recently that has
address/scheduling/calendar/reminders/passwords and invokes Agent for
e-mail sending.
Tested a lot of PIM's before getting it and am happy with it.
Though not perfect, the visual calendar and reminder functionality is
what I was after. Still would do a couple things differently if I was
writing it for myself, but I don't want to do that.
The computer/human interface issue is fraught with personal
preferences.
I was looking for something close to the Outlook "feel" for
scheduling/reminders without the overhead and unneeded stuff.
Got used to Outlook at work, but what I bought is much more suited to
home use. It's a free download/trial. But it's not an e-mail client.
