Hi Eugene,

I like addressbook which is a tcl/tk program that is highly
configurable.  You can send mail from it an do all sorts of things, 
Another nice thing is that the data base is a text based semi colen
separated file.  Really cool for using simple awk scripts for filtering
and sending out e mail to all of the members in your family.

awk -F ";" '/Family/ {printf ("%s %s <%s>,\n",$1,$2,$14) }'
/home/leroy/.addresses.dat

One of the fields is a category field.  Of course you can get a lot
fancier.  

I also use xcal which is a calandar with daily inputs and such.

Have a great day :-)
