very nice

A very nice little addon. Light, simple, not a lot of bells and whistles but if you are looking for a good no frills calendar that integrates well with T-Bird, this is the one. If you have the latest T-Bird and the older version installed but disabled, do an update search and it installs automatically

Lightning 1.3 cannot run at latest released Thunderbird 10.0.2.
You need Thunderbird 11.x.

I upgraded to Thunderbird 11 beta 5 and then Lightning 1.3 works just fine.

this is not a ,exe I coped this from Mozilla site this is how to install XPI file
...How to Install in Thunderbird

Download and save the file to your hard disk.
In Mozilla Thunderbird, open Add-ons from the Tools menu.
From the options button next to the add-on search field, select "Install Add-on From File..." and locate the downloaded add-on.

Nice tight little addon.

Where is the Google Task integration which was promised about 1 year ago (if not more). The impression is that releases now are just limited to enable the "compatibility flag" to the latest Firefox version...

This version, like the last two I have tried to use with Thunderbird simply jams up everything. Thunderbird refuses to work with this add-on. It will work with Google Calendar add-on.

For Windows 1.0 ? Haven't Microsoft ended that version years ago ?

Nice... but any plans for a 64-bits version?!?

With regard to Stoerpser comment, Sunbird 0.9 (so Lightning) now supports "last day of the month" recurrences, and can subsequently remove individual occurences.

Simple. Tbird is more powerful and never tried to be some kind of allnone to begin with.

Onsoku reviewed v0.8 on Apr 4, 2008

Good, but why use this when Spicebird seems to be a better solution, even while in beta?

I think, that the repeat function work a littgle bit stupid. For instance I want to book a date every last monday in every month. That don't work. And there are no possibilities to exclude dates within the repeating (like in Rainlendar).

And the import function ... from other .ics-files ...

When are they going to integrate Thunderbird to exchange... I would love to move to Linux at work but i have an exchange server in my way...

pjb reviewed v0.5 RC2 on Jun 18, 2007

A good API. Easy to download, easy to install. Works really well.

henrypeck reviewed v0.5 RC1 on Jun 1, 2007

A little difficult to install. Will be a good add-on for Thunderbird after additional work.

Finally, a calender that works in Thunderbird. It still needs a little work but now I can get rid of Outlook.

ermax18 reviewed v0.3.1 on Mar 1, 2007

Yes try it again. The last beta I tried shouldn't have even been called an alpha. This one is very usable. It is very basic right now. I have always wanted to be more organized but couldn't stand using Outlook for my email and didn't want to use two clients so I just never kept a calendar. I can't wait to see where they take this! I would love to give it a 5 but at this stage it is very very basic. But in some ways basic can be a good thing.

HelgeFossmo reviewed v0.3 on Oct 11, 2006

This is awesome!

With Lightning i finally can properly view the meeting invitations that other employees keep sending me from Outlook & easily add them to the calendar.

If you tried an earlier version of this extension and was unhappy with it, please check it out again. The current version (0.3) is definitly usable! Btw i use it with Thunderbird 1.5.0.7 for Windows

TurningWorm reviewed v0.1 on Mar 21, 2006

This is a nice start, but it doesn't quite integrate in a really intuitive way yet. The calendar takes up too much of the mailbox window. It would work better if the mailboxes were a seperate tab along with the "todo" and "calendar" tabs. I'm not sure what the purpose of the little calendar is, but I wish I could turn it off.

Overall, I'm really looking forward to the development of this software.
