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 regret its demise; however the calender server in star office 5.2 was 
very useful.  backing up your palm over the Internet was pretty cool ;-)

Up and coming is the mozilla calendar available at 
http://mozilla.org/projects/calendar

It can work from a local file, http or ftp.  It can only update using a 
local file at present.  For a remote calendar I guess you could use the 
webdav or ftp filesystem patches.

Other than that squirrelmail has a great shared calendar feature which 
allows the admins to set up shared and public calendars.  It would also 
be good if some of the calendars could be viewed without having to 
login; but I am sure it could be done with a bit of php hacking :-)

Kind regards
Xander
