O.P. Good (free) alternatives to Sunbird?
Does anyone know of any good free alternatives to Mozilla Sunbird?

You could take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_personal_information_managers for a list. In addition, if you're looking for an alternative I take it that there's something about Mozilla Sunbird that displeases you. We might be able to advise you better if you told us why you are looking for an alternative  |

I'm not sure why but everytime i select a time for the an event/task to start of finish, it suddenly jumps back 1 or 2 hours before the actual time i selected, which can get REALLY annoying. I dont know maybe im doing something wrong...

I've been using Thunderbird and Lightning for a while now and it does the job for me!
Have you tried Sunbird 0.8? it was released last week I believe so maybe the problems you had have been fixed |

I would also suggest trying out Sunbird 0.8. Thunderbird 0.7 had the same time issue for me but 0.8 straightened it out great.

Yes, you can. Also, with the provider extension you can sync Thunderbird's Lightning Calendar with your Google Calendar. |

Maybe this is a very silly comment, but seeing also this post from you, maybe your computer time and DST setting is set wrongly. Check that first. .-= A 'frrrrrrrituurrr' for Wacky =-. |
