Top Mozilla Thunderbird task managers to use
Lightning
Lightning is arguably one of the most well-known addons for Mozilla Thunderbird.
This is mainly because it was one of the first at giving the email client the calendar, task management, and scheduling tools that it lacks.
More so, it continues to be updated, and this allows it to stay the most popular addon of its kind even as of today.

Tasks & Mails
Tasks and Mails is a neat Thunderbird addon that links tasks directly to emails. For example, if you receive an email that requires a follow-up action. you can use the addon to link the task to that particular email.
Microsoft Outlook users may recognize this as the flag feature from their email client. The tasks are then stored with the email in the email folder, making it useful if many of your tasks are associated with emails and RSS feeds.

Provider for Google Calendar
Using multiple services is not uncommon nowadays, so using Mozilla Thunderbird in conjunction with Google Calendar isn’t all that odd.
However, switching between one another can be frustrating, so Provider for Google Calendar is here to make things easier.
This neat Thunderbird addon basically links the two services, so that all the tasks and schedules you have on Google calendar can be seen and used from within Mozilla Thunderbird.

Closing thoughts on task managers for Mozilla Thunderbird
Unlike other email clients that also have several personal information organizing tools, like Outlook, Thunderbird is just a simple email client.
However, it can be customized with a wide variety of tools and addons that can fill in some of the gaps that it has. These allow you to continue using it without feeling as if you’re missing out on potentially beneficial tools.
