They are working on Thunderbird 3 which be both a calendar and email
product.

From Mozilla's web site
Thunderbird 3 will include calendaring, better search, and better
overall user experience, much like Firefox 3. We're hoping for a release
in late 2008 -- the exact timing will depend on who joins this
collective effort.

I forgot to mention, you can use the Lightning add on until this is
released

Why do you need a calendar inside an email program?


What the hell is a "calendar"?

Look at your watch, those numbers on the right hand side are calendar
dates.

It's like a colander only with different letters.

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.

Thoughts?

Looks like you got some.
Did you get a laptop because you can use it on the road?
Never had one myself except what my job provided.
I hated that thing, mostly because of the keyboard.
Thinking a laptop with wireless internet might come in handy for
traveling though. Since I only vacation a couple weeks a year,
I haven't felt the need. But that might change.

It's kind of like a paper clock that counts days instead of hours. You do
remember what a clock is, right?
