EPIM is an Outlook like application but... it is more powerful !
First, it has a portable version and a network version (collaborative)
Second, each function is very fast and powerful :
* it's possible to search in any modules (todo, appointment, contact, password manager, notes, emails) in real time (match elements are showed while writing the word).
* it's possible to define tasks AND sub-tasks (try this with Outlook < 2010)
* It's multi-language (english, deutsh, italiano, français... and a lot of other)
* it's possible to synchronize with a lot of products : Outlook, PocketPC, Palm, online web (Google, CalDav, Yahoo...) and EPIM team will works on Android and iPhone sync.
There forum lets write suggestions and support questions.
A minus point is documentation (there are a lot of features and help file is small)

Globaly, I've bought it in 2000 and I still fond of EssentialPIM : give it a try with Free version (limitation on numbers of events or sync method)

Got an error message too!

Tried the pro version as well, even worse.
Should be marked "beta".

Got an error when opening my previous EPIM database with this version
"Violation of primary unique key on contact table ..."
The app is great but this version won't open my database

For whatever reason I could not find a standard calendar view (month...?).
Uk'sKalendar solved that and Kurlo took care of contacts beautifully (just remember to use a fairly simple password!).
Finally decided to dedicate software for my contacts and other than using tbird with lightning (never again) there was simply nothing else for free.
I doubt essential pim free can compete with kurlo in the contact dept I just couldn't get past the fugly calendar views- (ughh)

I represent developers.
NOD32 is wrong, there is no any badware. You can check with any other reputable protection software.

Well this is a first. I've had my problems with this software but when it works its pretty good

BUT Nod32 says;
"http://downloads.essentialpim.com.s3.amazonaws.com/essentialpimport3.zip
probably a variant of Win32/Statik potentially unwanted application connection terminated - quarantined
Threat was detected upon access to web by the application."

Its' probably some adware they have bundled but other things have adware and don't elicit this response and this never has either so....

The best PIM on the market, imho. Free version is good, but pro simply kicks as.
I like that it's fast, lightweight and flexible. Also, you can sync it pretty much with everything starting from gCal to Outlook AND you can even sync over a network between epims!

I prefer Open Source to Lite tools, but I have to admit, it works well for moving Outlook info to a different computer. It get a 4 for being Lite and not fully functional. Not a bad piece of software, would go well with Sylpheed.

open source alternative, sunbird or thunderbird

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/

And since its EssentialPIM 'Free', (which is not true freeware, but simply a promotional tool for their full featured version) it absolutely does need an open source alternative. AND since sunbird is standards compliant and has many more features, and with plugins its enterprise ready, I think you'll be far happier with it in the long run, and this one will go from 'free' to non-free when the company gets sick of making no money. I have seen 'free' products like this, even ones that say "we will always be free" go non-free in a real hurry. Its comanies like that which have destroyed 'freeware' for me, and many others.
