The first step was to get all my google calendars shared with my main google gmail account.
Google calendar works well on my android devices but I’m now constantly flicking between Thunderbird and Google calendar with lots of leeway for missing appointments. Here’s the thing (isn’t there always a thing), I’m now faced with managing multiple calendars. I’ve sent, received, accepted and modified appointment times with 100% success across several different calendar clients. Now I’m all good, this calendar works seamlessly with Outlook, Google and other calendars. Thunderbird is freeware, it’s maintained really well however it doesn’t come with a built in calendar, so off I head and download the Lightning calendar plugin. Bonus – I can read everything due to Thunderbirds clean and tidy interface. Thunderbird has taken a little getting used to after years of using Outlook, however, 6 months later I’m loving it and will never go back.
This means I’m not constantly switching between Outlook and my browser to check emails.
I now use Thunderbird to manage multiple email accounts. A few months ago I decided to stop using Outlook as my mail client, there were 2 reasons for this, firstly I don’t like the Outlook 2013 interface, seriously, even with my glasses on I’m squinting to read it on my 22” monitor and then there’s a limit of being able to add 6 email addresses – yes I have 8, and that doesn’t include the multiple pop3 accounts that converge to one gmail account and – the number is growing every month!
