Beyond that: it's been dropped from the (Mozilla) source repositories that once held it, and if you go back to the commit before it was dropped, the resulting state is not buildable in a modern environment. (IIRC from when I tried it, in an attempt to resurrect the standalone program, the problem is the interdependency of different parts of that tree and build system.) My understanding is that it was dropped after its codebase was forked into the form of the Lightning extension, but last I checked that extension and its descendants came with the downside of being integrated into Thunderbird, and specifically with the downside of appearing not as a separate window but as a tab; I do not want a tab bar in my mail client, period, so the fact that I can't use the calendar without having one visible makes that line of descent a nonstarter for me. I still have a Sunbird Portable install on one of my Windows computers at work (albeit one which is now dead because the PSU failed), but have never had a similarly good standalone calendar in a Linux environment. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
