[Discuss] Recommended Calendar with Popup Reminders



Good timing.  Just three days ago, I installed the Lightning plugin to 
Thunderbird for calendaring, and really like it.  I use OwnCloud as 
groupware/CardDav/CalDav/WebDav/file sync, so now I have a CalDav client 
under Linux to share the same calendar data I access on my phone.  It 
does do popup reminders.   Since you don't love the cloud (I don't 
either which is why I run OwnCloud on my own server), you don't have to 
use it the way I am.  But it's nice to have just another tab on 
Thunderbird instead of a separate app.
