Reviewed by: CNET Staff
The simple calendar application provides basic features for planning your time. You can use it to schedule various event types and control task accomplishment. We liked its clear and handy interface. You can easily switch between day, week, and month views. Mozilla Sunbird makes rescheduling events as easy as drag-and-dropping them. The program may serve to workgroups using the WebDAV technology. As Mozilla Sunbird is still work in progress, you won't find many important features. The program lacks means to highlight various even types. You can't password-protect your schedule. In spite of these flaws, the freeware satisfies basic planning needs.Publisher's description
From Mozilla :The Sunbird Project is a redesign of the Mozilla Calendar component. The goal is to produce a cross platform standalone calendar application based on Mozilla's XUL user interface language. Sunbird is the standalone form of the Mozilla Calendar. Both use the same base code so their functionality is the same and they share the same bugs and bug fixes. The intended user is someone who uses Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird and wants a calendar application based on Mozilla.
Version 0.9 includes spanning days now have a visual indicator indicating them as connected events, when reloading a remote calendar a progress indicator is now shown, the calendar views (day, week, multiweek, month) have been given a visual overhaul, the application stability and memory consumption has been greatly improved, and other improvements.

This software version | All versions -
Version: Mozilla Sunbird 0.9
Pros: My wife and I use Sunbird to sync our appointments. She highlights all of her appointments in pink and of coarse I highlight mine in blue. Makes checking and scheduling appointments a breeze.
Cons: Has a known issue with printing. Why print it anyway? Have had a RARE glitch or two on my wifes PC (Vista) where an appointment didn't show up and was then re-added. It then showed up on my PC (Windows 7) as a double entry. Vista or her PC?
Summary: I recommend it if you're not already using Outlook or if you don't want to use Outlook for whatever reason.

Version: Mozilla Sunbird 0.9
"alot like outlook calandar but not as good."
Pros: Nice calendar for the most part
Cons: I couldnt put an end date to recurring things like classes, etc. It moves slowly going from one month to the next month, a few seconds pause, which is irritating in a hurry.
Summary: Pretty good.

Version: Mozilla Sunbird 0.9
"Easy to use and very complete"
Pros: Quite intuitive and complete
Cons: The list of contacts should be more accessible, perhaps in the form of a side window

Version: Mozilla Sunbird 0.9
"I like it easy to use and view"
Pros: its a good diary, full potential as yet unexplored
Cons: non that I have yet found
Summary: Easy to use and most important to back up. disliked the standard MS products because the backing up and recovery was so difficult form me, a non techie.

Version: Mozilla Sunbird 0.9
Pros: It's easy to use/understand, it uses little system resources, does what it says it will, and also has a few other cool features.
Cons: It doesn't have a "Minimize to system tray" function, like Microsoft Outlook. Without this function, you have to keep it running for your notes/reminders to work, and if you exit the program, they don't work.
Summary: Because it doesn't have a "Minimize to system tray" function, like Microsoft Outlook, is really sad (for me), cause any notes/reminders I make do NOT show up unless I keep it running. If Mozilla can fix this, I'll definitely be using this more.
