In my opinion it still lacks some basic modern UI/UX stuff.

For instance the calendar does not implement a click and drag event creation mechanism.

The message preview view is only limited to the senders name and message title, there is no option to have one or two additional lines of text with the message content as preview.

The calendar also does not allow scrolling the weekly view by one day (instead of the whole week) at a time.

Interesting. How would this work? Are you suggesting a grid of arbitrary dimensions with today always top left or in the middle? Thus deemphasising the existence of weeks (and weekends)?

Thunderbird remains the only calendar I'm aware of with a "multi-week" that disregards the utterly useless concept of a month.

Sorry, reread the post and you said the weekly view. So it's similar to my complaint about monthly views. You want to see n days ahead and m days behind, where m,n >= 0 and are your choice. I have no idea why electronic calendars remain stuck in the emulated paper calendar paradigm.
