I have used the free mail program Pegasus Mail for Windows and
for Mac for several years. Just because the author wants it to be
free is not, in itself, justification for not using it.

That is a false statement. I can share my personal calendar, or
any particular events on the calendar, with anyone. I can give my
secretary the password, and she makes updates, as well as I
do. Or, if I want a departmental calendar that multiple people can
update, they have group calendars available.

Same could happen with these yahoo and netscape calendars.
