Mozilla just released 0.3 of both Lightning and Sunbird. This is great news as Thunderbird now has an integrated calendaring tool that supports meeting invitations and other Outlook-like functionality (for people who are into that) and also great because it will no longer eat your data. It looks nicer too although not iCal-nice.

Installation was easy and I imported my .ics files from Mozilla Calendar running attached to Firefox. Lots of cool stuff in this release, check out the full announcement.

    How stable is it? Calendar has been an application I wasn’t willing to “beta” very lightly.

    (and you should install the plugin that lets people subscribe to your comment threads)

    I’ve been using the Mozilla Calendar plug-in for… a year? And it’s been perfect. In fact, after importing my existing calendars into Sunbird, Sunbird is definitely slower. It’s not terrible but it’s not nearly as peppy as Moz Calendar.

    Still, it is incredibly reliable. If you come from Outlook-land you might still be disappointed but I never wanted to go to Outlook-land so Sunbird is great for me.

    Where is the comment subscription thing?
