The Lightning project, announced on December 22, 2004 and currently in development by the Mozilla Foundation, is an extension that adds calendar and scheduling functionality to the Mozilla Thunderbird mail and newsgroups client.
Unlike Mozilla Sunbird - or the discontinued Mozilla Calendar extension - Lightning aims to integrate tightly with Thunderbird.[1] The Lightning project is being developed simultaneously with the Sunbird project, and the code used for both tools is identical, with a few individual files for each program so that they run how they are meant to.[2]
The first testing version of Lightning, version 0.1, was released on March 14, 2006 and 0.3 was released on October 10, 2006.
"Lightning" is a working title and not the official name of the product; therefore, calling it "Mozilla Lightning" is technically incorrect.
