I'm retired and am looking for a calendar based PIM to keep
track of appointments that I could use on my Windows 7 laptop.
I own MS Outlook but it is overkill especially as I do not use
it for email or anything else. Google calendar would work but
it is in the cloud and I would like something that I could keep
on my laptop and off the cloud.

Any suggestions?

Thank you. Jeff

I see you're using Thunderbird. Why don't you use Lightning? You
can get it he

http://www.mozilla.org/projects/cale.../download.html

It puts a calendar and tasks into Thunderbird.

Good suggestion. I just tried it and works for me. Also imports ics
files which is great.

Does it have a portable version for flash drive?


Yes, see (in Office section):

http://portableapps.com/apps

There are many other portable apps listed. Don't overdo it... ;-)


I love portable apps! I have PortableApps Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 and have
successfully installed an earlier version of Lightning. No problemo.

I downloaded EssentialCalendar and it is indeed great.
Did not try EssentialPIM, wonder if it will conflict if I install it to
see what the difference is between the two.

I installed EssentialPIM on my computer, but don't use it mainly because it
also installed itself as my default e-mail application, which I don't want it
to be, and I'm not sure how to undo that.


I just installed it and kept Essential Calendar. TB remains my default
email app.

Your preferred e-mail client should have an option somewhere to make it
the default e-mail client.

If you don't want to keep it, uninstall it. To make sure it's completely
gone use Revo Uninstaller*(free).

What was your former default e-mail client? Start it, somewhere in the
preferences/options menus you should find a "make this the default"
check box.

Just a guess, but try typing 'default programs' into the box after
clicking on the Start Orb. On the applet that opens, click the last
link, "Set program access and computer defaults." You should be able
to specify your default email app there, along with other defaults.
