A quick look at the new Mozilla program, Sunbird.Download: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird/. The interface of Mozilla Sunbird is very simple. Adding an event simply involves clicking on the 'Add Event' box in the top left-hand corner. The same goes for New Tasks. There's also a powerful search tool that finds events by keyword. Like most of Mozilla's products, it also seems very safe and allows you to set a password to access it.

Mozilla Sunbird Alternative
Mozilla Sunbird is a cross-platform calendar application.
Mozilla Sunbird Logo
Mozilla calendar application is also available as an extension to Mozilla Thunderbird. You don't need to install Sunbird if you choose to install the Lightning extension.
Installing
In Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy) and later, Sunbird is available in the Universe repository. Simply install the 'sunbird' package.
In Ubuntu 10.04.1 (Lucid first point release), the 'sunbird' package has been removed from the repositories (because Mozilla has stated that Sunbird 1.0 is 'the last public Sunbird release by the Calendar Project' and recommends 'upgrading to Thunderbird 3 and Lightning 1.0'). There is a blog entry explaining a solution to keep using your calendar data.
