After upgrading from Mint 21.3 to 22.3, Thunderbird no longer offers me the option of setting email alerts for events. Details: - I have Provider for Google Calendar installed - I've tried adding my calendar as "Google calendar" and "On the network" but neither offers email alerts. (On the network works better for responding to invitations.) My current work-around is to go to the google calendar app on my phone and set an email alert after creating the event in Thunderbird. That works but is a pain. This worked before. I suspect it's more a configuration issue and less a Mint version issue.

Hey, I'd like to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird. I’ve already tried switching to Thunderbird once when I switched to Linux, but—now to my question: The most important feature for me is being able to use different colors in the calendar to mark appointments. I wasn’t able to get this to work on Linux, even with AI. Isn’t this option available? But if people are switching away from Outlook, surely a small feature like this shouldn’t be a problem?

Can anyone help me with this?

A large list of participants will extend the content of the "Edit Event" window beyond the threshold of the window, making all checkboxes (Notify attendees, etc.) and part of the list inaccessible.

This will also affect the Description and Attachments tabs.

With a lot of moving and resizing, the window can be resized to show everything, but then it extends far beyond the size of the screen. This is impractical.

The list of participants should never exceed the confines of the window and should be scrollable.

140.12.0esr (64-bit) on Ubuntu 24.04.

My old Win 11 laptop died. So, since I had an SDD adapter, I removed SDD drive from the old laptop and connected it to my new laptop.

- I had already set Thunderbird on the new laptop so I have an existing profile. - I was able, using the Import tool, to get my address book successfully transferred from the old profile. - And while the old calendar name appears in calendar pane, I don't see any of my appointments. - I tried create placeholder calendar, then deleting all the other calendars and retried but still no luck.

I don't want to just copy and paste all the contents from old profile into the new profile as I don't need my old emails or email account data. So, what should I do? Thanks for any help in advance

I imported an appointment into the calendar. I wanted to setup a reminder. The only option is "Show an alert". Is it possible to to create a reminder option other than "Show and alert"?

When I add a calendar event, it defaults to Holidays in US. How do I change this to the calendar associated with my email address? I often forget to change the desired calendar. Also, How do I edit the Holidays calendar? Thanks BigSam

I have been using Thunderbird calendar synced to gmail a/c on Linux Mint for many years and have been able to send reminder notifications by email. Recently I had to unsubscribe my calendar and reinstall to clear a fault and the notification by email function has disappeared from Thunderbird event notifications. Can you tell me how to restore that function?

Version 140.11.1esr

Using Provider for Exchange Activesync v4.18 because my calendaring host requires EAS v16. I have recurring events (e.g., multi-day hotel reservations) which seem to SHIFT a day earlier than originally specified after a synchronization.

In event creation in Calendar the options for repeat pattern are daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or yearly. There is an option to create a custom pattern, but if I enter every 28 days, because I want the event to recur every four weeks, it is over-ridden by the option above which is the repeat pattern, daily, weekly etc and the event appears daily. There appears to be no way to create an event that occurs repeatedly every four weeks (28days)?

Can anyone help please?

I'm on Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bit).

NB: I have been using app specific passwords for all steps with this.

I previously had nine icloud calendars - my own and those shared with me - synced into Thunderbird. Not all had events in them. Then all the events stopped syncing.

I unsubscribed all the calendars and tried to re-add them with the calendar specific URLs. Initially none of them would re-add.

Got a new app specific password.

Followed online tutorials to try using general login to https://icloud.com and https://webcal.icloud.com. Calendars detected, but would not add into Thunderbird.

Then back to calendar specific URLs, and the calendars are adding, but none of the events.

I've tried adding the calendar feeds to Outlook, which works, so I'm pretty positive it's a Thunderbird problem rather than an Apple problem. If it can't be resolved, I'll have to move onto Outlook, but it's a bad time to do that as I want to resolve some Thunderbird email chain dependent projects first.

Any help very gratefully received.

I have a calendar that is shared by 4 devices. If I snooze or dismiss a reminder on 1 device, it should not affect the reminder on the other devices. Please implement a local snooze option at the individual calendar level.

When I extend or modify calendar events there are no reminders given. Often, I will extend an event as I get more appointments. Or modify these events to change the day or hour. These events will never give reminders. Can I reset the reminders for these events? Jerry

I have 4 gmail accounts in Thunderbird. The calendar shows items from all 4 accounts. My issue comes when setting up an invitation. Pretend my accounts are:

personal1@gmail.com personal2@gmail.com personal3@gmail.com business1@gmail.com

If I want to set up a meeting with invitations from business1@gmail.com, I select the account from the left side of the calendar list, then I create a new event on the day I want. The dialogue box correctly shows "business1@gmail.com in the Calendar drop down box at the top. I can then fill in title, location, category, time etc. But when I click on Invite Attendees, thunderbird has already added "personal1@gmail.com" as the first attendee and is waiting for me to enter the contact of the second attendee. If I add people and send it out, it goes from my "personal1" account and not my "business1" account and any replies come into "persoanl1". Same thing happens if I start by selecting the "personal2" or "personal3" accounts first in Calendar view. It always sets "personal1" as the organizer.

I can not figure out why Thunderbird is automatically using "personal1" as a default and sending from there. I am adding a screen shot to show what it looks like after adding an invitee.

Tip for improving the calendar function of Thunderbird. It is said that the travel time that I enter in my iPhone, for an appointment is also saved in iCloud. Unfortunately, I cannot see or create this in the Thunderbird calendar. It would be nice if this were possible in a future version of Thunderbird.

Tips for improving the calendar function of Thunderbird I use Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bits) on Windows 11.

1) In a weekly overview, I do NOT see a date for each day. I would

  really like that. Then I wouldn't have to count and calculate.
 The best place would be just next to the day so e.g. "saturday 12-5"
  p.s. keep in mind that according to the country there are different form
 in Europe 12-5 means the 12th of may, i understood in America it is different.
  or 12 + the first 3 letters of the month would also be fine "zaterdag 12 mei"

2) It is said that the travel time that I enter in my iPhone,

  for an appointment is also saved in iCloud.

  calendar.
  It would be nice if this were possible in a future version of 
  Thunderbird.
