As mentioned on this list before, these are large cumbersome email programs which just happen to provide a calendar sub-component. They provide no satisfaction at all for those who do not want to use Thunderbird or Evolution as their email program. CDE's dtcm does not prescribe/require use of a particular email program. What is needed is a stand alone calendar program which provides sufficient hooks in order to deliver an email-based notification message. It is useful if email-based notification is done via a daemon component so that it does not require that the user remain logged in to a particular desktop in order to be notified. The function of a calendar program is not just to display a calendar. It also provides a critical notification function of scheduled events so that the user can be notified of obligations at the appropriate times. Please don't force me to use /usr/bin/calendar again.
