Updated preference for Email/Calendar/etc

Using Opera as:

- Web browsing (disabling cookie and Javescript etc, as far as you can)

- Email, using IMAP for Gmail, speed is good if using "Low bandwidth mode"; better than POP3 since you can selectively delete the emails on server using IMAP.

- RSS reader. It can recognize RSS/Atom/XML feed; it does not download ads.

Using Sunbird and GCALDaemon together to sync with Google Calendar

This is faster than using Sunbird directly connect to Google Calendar

Events can be scheduled on GCal as usual.

For tasks, you can treat them as all-day events. You can set the event's date as the task's deadline. By adjusting how early the reminder/alarm pops up, you can set up the starting date of the task.

In fact, it is not recommended to synchronize everything to GCal; you can choose what to be put on GCal and what is only on local machine:

1) Set two Calendars, one named "GCal", the other Home; when creating a schedule, choose "GCal" as Calendar name if you wish the schedule to be on google;

2) Simply do not synchronize Sunbird to google; manually create those schedules which need to be accessed out of home.
