Outlook Calendar alternative

Bani_2

Hi
first time in this forum.

Have recently been forced to move to new tower and vista because my old tower fell over badly.
Have used the Outlook calendar for about 5 years, have got used to it and like the ability to colour code different types of appointment.
I don't use Outlook for anything else so don't want to have to buy it for the new tower.
Is there any way of getting the calendar without having to buy the full outlook?

I'm trying the google calendar, but don't like it as much and its not as easy to get the clour coding in.

So any advice on how to get the Outlook one, or equivalent, without having to cough up too much would be appreciated

Thunderbird 3 (due soon) has the calendar extension built-in;

Alternatively, Spicebird could be worth looking at;
