Spicebird: Mozilla based Outlook clone with collaboration features
In addition to the email client, Spicebird lets you send instant messages using Jabber, share yoru calendar with friends or coworkers, and subscribe to web-calendars using iCal. You can also subscribe to RSS feeds using the client or post to your own blog.
All of these features are designed to work together. For example, say someone sends you an email with a date in the text. Spicebird will automatically ask if you would like to create a calendar event, which you can do with a single click.
An alpha release is coming soon, but Synovel has released a web demo to whet your appetite while you wait.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet.

This is cool, less reliant on outlook, mean finally one could afford to divorce MS work suit without fear of repercussion.
However, Thunderbird or not, Mozilla should work harder on long overdue at the lag time launching with all it's programs.

If this can build on Thunderbird while fixing T-bird's atrocious handling of RSS feeds, I'm in!

Looks interesting. I recently started moving away from Outlook and have begun using Thunderbird and Lightning (very very frightening!) with a few addons for synching. It seems to work reasonable well. It would be nice to have an all in one program that didn't require multiple addons, and the chat support would be cool as well.

OutlOOk is clunky though a suite by itself and is productive.
Though SeaMonkey and Thunderbird are around they do not have an integrated calendar and tasks and a real time chat for a office working environment.
In that sense SpiceBird is only too welcome. Wonder when the beta would be out!
