I'm looking for a lightweight calendar application that can do the following 
things:

Event handling (preferrably also a support for recurring events)
Notification of events
Handle several calendars at once (as in showing all calendars in one view and 
preferrably colour coded)
Import of other calendars (iCal)

I've been looking for an application that matches this but I can't seem to find 
any.

Hi there,

I'm not being argumentative here, just curious: in what way doesn't Sunbird 
meet these requirements?

I'm more interested in calendaring servers (and unfortunately the choice of 
those is pretty dire) and using Apple iCal on MacOS as a front-end, but those 
sound like really basic requirements, and I'm surprised that any calendar 
doesn't meet them. iCal certainly meets them all (even with basic local 
storage), although I appreciate that's not much help to you.


Primarily because I tend to steer away from Mozilla products if I can (they 
just don't seem to feel right, somehow. (I know, great argument)). I absolutely 
wouldn't mind setting up a server and using some frontend, the question is just 
which front end. And when I set out to find calendar I really thought they were 
very basic requirements. My google-fu told me I was wrong.
But yeah, Sunbird meets the requirements, I'd just prefer to go down another 
road (if there is one).

Have you tried Evolution?  It's intended to be an open-source replacement for 
M$ Outlook.
It's a lot more than just a calendar client, though, so it's not lightweight..
