    EPIM is an Outlook like application but... it is more powerful !
    First, it has a portable version and a network version (collaborative)
    Second, each function is very fast and powerful :
    * it's possible to search in any modules (todo, appointment, contact, password manager, notes, emails) in real time (match elements are showed while writing the word).
    * it's possible to define tasks AND sub-tasks (try this with Outlook < 2010)
    * It's multi-language (english, deutsh, italiano, français... and a lot of other)
    * it's possible to synchronize with a lot of products : Outlook, PocketPC, Palm, online web (Google, CalDav, Yahoo...) and EPIM team will works on Android and iPhone sync.
    There forum lets write suggestions and support questions.
    A minus point is documentation (there are a lot of features and help file is small)

    Globaly, I've bought it in 2000 and I still fond of EssentialPIM : give it a try with Free version (limitation on numbers of events or sync method)

    Got an error message too!

    Tried the pro version as well, even worse.
    Should be marked "beta".

    Got an error when opening my previous EPIM database with this version
    "Violation of primary unique key on contact table ..."
    The app is great but this version won't open my database

    For whatever reason I could not find a standard calendar view (month...?).
    Uk'sKalendar solved that and Kurlo took care of contacts beautifully (just remember to use a fairly simple password!).
    Finally decided to dedicate software for my contacts and other than using tbird with lightning (never again) there was simply nothing else for free.
    I doubt essential pim free can compete with kurlo in the contact dept I just couldn't get past the fugly calendar views- (ughh)

    @some douche

    That was 4 releases ago!! to which they quickly released another version 3 days later (which surprise surprise NOD had nothing to say about).
