Thunderbird has a Calendar extension available, but the last time I checked it 
was still in beta.  It was OK, but because it wasn't fully integrated with 
Thunderbird you had to open Thunderbird and then select the Calendar function 
from the menu. I had been hoping for complete integration so that reminders 
happened without having to open Calendar :-(
