"And just how do you install this?"
Pros: Can't say a whole lot since it won't install
Cons: There must be some deep dark secret about installing this because Windows and Thunderbird don't recognize it.

Version: Lightning 0.8
"Works well for tasks, I use it for my daily to do tasks."
Pros: The task portion works well, its simple easy and right there with my mail.
Cons: The event portion of the program is weak from the point of not being able to modify category names and colors. I use Sunbird for that. I hope with the scheduled update later in the year it is a really great program. A fully functional Sunbird integrated into Thunderbird would be perfect.

"The addon is not for Firefox"
Pros: I have no use for it, but several people had problem with this add-on which is for Thunderbird, and not Firefox. I have TB2.0.0.16, and I installed it like any other add-on. The file was downloaded to the Desktop, and I brought up Tools|Add-ons. then dragged and dropped the .xpi in the add-on manager. No problem.
Not compatible with TB3.0b1, and SM2.0a1.

"Integrates a calendar into Thunderbird! Wonderful."
Pros: Easy to load and easy to use. Multiple calendars is a plus.
Cons: First several attempts to incorporate a web based calendar did not work well.
