Sunbird is a standalone, standards-based calendaring application for managing calendar data, subscribing to iCalendar feeds, and interacting with calendaring services.

Lightning is a Thunderbird extension integrating calendaring with email, built with the same components as Sunbird.

Sunbird and Lightning are still in early stages of development. Alpha test builds for public testing are made available from time to time. Although the stable releases are quite stable, they are recommended for testing purposes only. They can be downloaded from the project's web site. See download sites.

Sunbird and Lightning are based on a rewrite of Calendar Extension, which is no longer in active development.
