I want to integrate my Google contacts, calender and Gmail to Unity. And I don´t want to use Thunderbird or even worse Evolution.
Is there a possibility like in GNOME 3.xx? A lightweight contact / calendar / mail app (maybe one app for contact, one for calendar) would be welcome.
Edit: I want to use the calender to sync my appointments with google – e.g. I open my "ubuntu-calender", make a new appointment and it syncs with google calendar. Also return way.
The same with contacts. I want a see and edit all my contacts in an app and have them sync with google.
Gmail: A notifyer would be enough – just one click on the notifyer and it opens googlemail in chrome. Otherwise an lightweigth email client.
Kind regards

You can install Ubuntu’s New Web Apps Feature of Ubuntu 12.04 & 12.10. This will allow you to integrate your
Gmail
andGoogle Calender
to the desktop, and make them first class citizen on your computer. This will allow for system notification pop-ups, HUD integration, and other Unity features. This is how to install it:Open the
Terminal
and type these commands:Now log out and log back in for the change to take affect. The time next you visit
Gmail
orGoogle Calender
onFirefox
orChromium
, they will ask if you want to integrate with the desktop.Here is some more reading on the subject:
