I'm much happier doing things from the keyboard, especially using Ion now I've got the keybindings how I like them and Mutts next on my list to sort/figure out.

I want something I can use for scheduling appointments/meetings etc, reminders of birthdays, and to-do lists with priorities/categories/due date reminders.  AND keyboard access rather than just point/click.  What are others using?

Problem I see with the web based ones is I don't get popups reminding me to do things when the time arrives and it's not available offline.  I guess it would need to be a server based system with a desktop client and maybe a web interface. Having a local copy that syncs with the server will be needed for times I only have dial-up access.  hm... sounds like it's getting complicated now this is what I'll need in the long term, I just need something on my desktop for now.

I think you have a nice wish list there!
I don't think there is anything out there which implements all of this.

I suppose that you should start looking at the ical standard for the
calendaring - I don't think there is much real support for this in
Linux.

For the reminders, how about Jabber instant messaging?
