Todist seems to be gradually abandoned as the developer started working on another project. Maybe I will give RTM another try. Thanks Clif,

I knew about it but never try it since I use GMail directly off the browser. So far I had stuck with Todoist. I must say it's the longest I have stuck with an online tool. Under Firefox I simply put https://mail.google.com/mail/|http://todoist.com as homepage and both sites open up every time I fire up the browser. Very handy. No install, just web applications. Slowly I'm find myself buying into the idea of "the web is the computer". Hey Eric, thanks for this suggestion!

It's basically Sunbird, enhanced, and tightly integrated with Thunderbird. (See <a href="http://www.fyreplace.com/images2/screenshots/tbirdcal.png" rel="nofollow">this screen shot</a> of my thunderbird/lightening install.) Since gmail now offers IMAP support, you can set up Thunderbird to access your gmail account via IMAP, and use gmails drafts, sent, trash, spam, and archive folders. There's some tricks to getting it set up correctly, but they're easy to do. Check out <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/geek-to-live/turn-thunderbird-into-the-ultimate-gmail-imap-client-314574.php" rel="nofollow">this tutorial</a> over at Lifehacker on how to set up tbird to deal properly with gmails folders (the archive and star folders are there, too, along with any other folders you designate). You'll have the same stuff in tbird and gmail. tbird at home/office, gmail.com on the road. There are also a few thunderbird extensions that give you the keyboard shortcut functionality of gmail. Search the thunderbird extension website for those. Hope this helps you combine everything you need into one fail swoop (someone needs to bundle it, already). Ken,
