I have installed Sunbird on a laptop, it has no mail functions, it is  
a stand alone calendar. It can be shared and coordinated on Google  
Calendar.

Here is what Mozilla says about the calendar products:

Mozilla SunbirdR is a cross-platform calendar application, built upon  
Mozilla Toolkit. Our goal is to provide you with full-featured and  
easy to use calendar application that you can use around the world.

Lightning brings the Sunbird calendar to the popular email client,  
Mozilla Thunderbird. Since it's an extension, Lightning is tightly  
integrated with Thunderbird, allowing it to easily perform  
email-related calendaring tasks.
