Google Apps Missing Features

December 24, 2009

The Google Apps I use in my firm—Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Contacts—have some great features. They also have some crippling omissions that frustrate me on a daily basis.

The great advantage of Plaxo is that it syncs with a variety of software—I use it with Outlook (two different copies), Thunderbird (ditto), and Gmail.

Thunderbird 2 released today

April 19, 2007

Along with Ubuntu 7.04, Mozilla released Thunderbird 2.0 today. Thunderbird is Mozilla’s cross-platform e-mail client, and with the Lightning add-on, a full personal information manager (PIM).
If you prefer free software, or you don’t need a full-featured client like Outlook, give Thunderbird a try. I’ve been playing with it, and it really is a pretty sweet [...]
