[mdlug] Need to make Thunderbird "treat" email 100% like Outlook

[Robert Adkins]

Thunderbird has extensions that will add calendering and it has an 
address book that can access an LDAP system to provide an external 
address list.

If I recall correctly, one could also setup a "MS Exchange" like bit 
using the T-Bird Calender Extension, a simple setup on a webserver with 
MySQL as the back-end.
