My running Thunderbird 102.3.1 with "provider for google" extension installed

Some of the entries on the Google web version of the calendar are not appearing in the Thunderbird version

All help and suggestions welcomed

Hi!

I recently added my caldav calendar to thunderbird and noticed that the event times are off by an hour. Going into Settings -> Calendar, there's a drop down for timezone, the selected one is UTC+1 whereas I'm on UTC+0 and I can't seem to set it to plain GMT/UTC (I can select that timezone on single events though), and there does not seem to be a single country or region in that timezone list that's on UTC+0 with no DST.

Is there some way to set the calendar time zone to UTC+0?

Hi,

Please explain how to open SHARED Google calendars (that I do not own) in Thunderbird 102.4.0 on Win 11 Pro. Here is what I have tried:

(1) Added Google Provider add-in. Attempted to add my Google Calendars. It didn't find anything at all. (2) Removed Google Provider add in. Attempted to add my Google Calendars. It added the ones that I personally own just fine. However, it did not detect my husband's shared calendar to which I have view-only access. Interestingly, it DID add a shared calendar to which I have read/write access. (3) Restarted Thunderbird. Attempted #1 again. Attempted #2 again. (4) Restarted Thunderbird. Attempted #1 again. (5) Restarted Thunderbird. Attempted #2 again. (6) Restarted Thunderbird. Attempted #2. Then attempted #1. (7) No change in results. (8) Swore at the application multiple times. (9) Hit up these forums. Found that I am not the only one with this problem. Attempted to find solution. It was written in tech-ese and not English.

Please explain -- in English -- how to add view-only Google calendars, that I do not own and to which I do not have update access, to my new Thunderbird installation on my new computer. All I am trying to do is view my husband's calendar.

Thank you.

I'm not sure when this started happening but Thunderbird (115.3.1, Linux) is no longer sending email invites to my invitees, even if some of those invitees are on my same host. as "Organizer" I do get an email notice to my personal email, which is the default attendee, with subject "Accepted: testing", and body, "mfoley@novatec-inc.com has accepted your event invitation.", but nothing is sent to the other invitees on the list. I checked the error console which showed these messages after I created the event:

NotFoundError: No such JSWindowActor 'DevToolsFrame' 6

1701371572264 Toolkit.Telemetry WARN TelemetryStorage::_scanArchive - have seen this id before: 9c1e2d46-28f9-430d-86d7-398dd0ad3bdc, overwrite: false

Not sure these apply to creating a calendar event. My server settings are fine, I can send and receive mail to the Thunderbird inbox without problem. I can send email from the Thunderbird client without problem.

Any idea why I can't send event notifications to invitees?

This issue started happening recently. I am using Thuderbird 102.3.1 on Linux. I have recurring events in my Calendar. After the event date passes, I still get the notice with date "Yesterday at ..." When I dismiss the event, nothing happens, it persists. I've cleared my error console, then tried to Dismiss again and I get this in the error console:

What can I do to dismiss these events?

Since upgrading to Thunderbird v102 on my Mac I've lost events from my Lightning Calendar. I seem to have lost all my bi-weekly or monthly repetitive events (my one-off or annual repetitive events seem to be in tact).

I've tried closing the calendar and restarting Thunderbird but all to no avail. I was wondering whether I might restore my Lightning Calendar from my Time Machine backup (before I updated to v102) and, if so, what files I might need to replace.

Hi all Thunderbird enthousiast :)

In version 102, using the Lightning Calendar, when creating or editing a calendar event, how do I automatically send an email reminder(s) before the event start?

I tried. But Lightning "Set up Reminders" window offers only the "Show an alert" option. The number 6 in this screenshot shows the location of this challenge at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-50-55-b4905f.png

What I need is, still in this screenshot above, 1 hour before this event starts, Lightning to automatically send an email message reminder to a preset email address(es).

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Below is the same question as above. But with details if you're interested in those.

Steps to reproduce this challenge:

1. Using Thunderbird Lightning, click on the "Event" button to create a new Calendar event

2. The "New Event" window will open

3. Using this "New Event" window above, using its "Reminder" field, select the "Custom..." option. The numbers 1 et 2 in this screenshot show this at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-49-18-5d2120.png

5. The "Set up Reminders" window will open

6. Using this "Set up Reminders" window above, open the "Choose a Reminder Action" menu. Lightning offers only the "Show an alert" option. This screenshot shows the location of this challenge at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-50-55-b4905f.png

7. My question is this, 1 hour before this event starts, how to configure Lightning to automatically send an email message reminder(s) to a preset email address(es)?

Suggestion:

• If somehow Thunderbird version 102 is not yet able to send an email alert, then this is a suggestion for a new future. I'll try to create a new suggestion at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas Then I'll try to add the link here. • I recall that in a previous version of Thunderbird Lightning, its "Set up Reminders" window offered multiples options to choose from. Including "Show an alert" or "Send an email message". Could part of the previous Thunderbird code be recycled for Thunderbird 102? • If needed, both me and the Ubertus.org team would be happy to contribute beta testing and documentation for this new feature. Any volunteer for a patch?

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

What I tried that did not work:

• Clicked on the "Choose a Reminder Action" drop down menu. Only one option is available. It reads "Display alert". • Double-checked that the calendar is a Network Calendar (CalDAV) • Double-checked that the calendar "Properties" as an email address associated to it • Added my email address to the list of Attendees. This does send email notifications. But only on Event creation or event changes. This is not what I need. What I need is, for exemple, 1 hour before an event start, send an email message to be automatically sent to a set email address(es). Assuming that during this period I leave my Thunderbird both open and connected. • Searched for add-on about email alert at https://addons.thunderbird.net/fr/thunderbird/extensions/ I found none able to send email alert before an event start.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Synonyms of calendar event email reminder:

• email alert • alarm mailing • reminder action • send email reminder • thunderbird notification by email message

I followed the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1364439 After pasting in the URL of the Google Calendar from the browser, the process asks for the password used for the Google account. I provide the password, but the response is "The credentials you have entered were not accepted."

To confirm that the user name (my Gmail account) and password were entered correctly, I logged out of Calendar on the browser and logged in again using the credentials that were refused by the Create New Calendar process.

This isn't a showstopper, but it would be nice to have the calendar in Thunderbird.

I face the strange behavior that items added with TB to calendar or tasks which will be synchronized, but those which are made on my tablet or mobile won´t be brought into TB although I can see them in SoGo web interface.

I am using the native CalDAV and CardDAV solution in TB.

Can somebody help?

Hello. I wanted to ask you about the option of switching between calendars in thunderbird I have two gmail accounts and I mainly use one of them altogether with the calendar. Thunderbird automatically loaded the calendar from the other account. I tried to switch it by going to Edit - Calendar preferences - and marking the right calendar account but it still didn't work. How do I do it? I also change the language but somehow the actions don't apply. Is there an option how to save the changes I am making?

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble adding Google Calendar to Thunderbird. I have added a Google account and all e-mails and some of the calendars have downloaded correctly.

The problem is that I can't see all the Google calendars from within Thunderbird.

In the Calendars section, I click on "+", select "Remote Calendars", enter my Google mail in the user name and I get an incomplete list of calendars (several are missing, including "Finanse", "Imieniny urodzinki", "ProgramyTV").

You can see the differences in the attached screenshots.

How do I correctly synchronize Thunderbird with Google Calendars so that all my calendars are visible? (I do not use any add-ons)

Hello,

Just started using Thunderbird for its calendar, but I can't find the settings for Calendar Events. I am aware that I can select a specific calendar and go to its Properties Window, but I want to access the app's settings for all calendars. Research shows that there should be a Calendar tab in the app's settings tab, but it isn't there for me. I only have the General, Composition, Privacy & Security, and Chat tabs. Can someone please help me get this tab to appear?

Thanks!

Have not found a way (yet) to sort or filter my Lightening Calendar Events by an assigned "category ID".

I've also not been able to find an extension or add-on that may address such a capability.

For example: I have a series of medical appointments scheduled throughout an upcoming year or any time-frame. I would like to be able to sort or filter on the category ID that I've created for those appointments.

It is likely possible that I've overlooked an obvious option or even add-on, but so far No Joy.

Creating a "Task" is a possibility, but Tasks will not appear in the Lightening Calendar display.

Any suggestions please?

Hi I have been using tasks in thunderbird for a while. It seems to me that Tasks ｢description｣ part use html(with some format), unlike mail body where I can change to pure text.

※reason I have problem with this - If I copy from browser/rich text editor(like word), it brings in extra font - sometimes I need to press ｢Enter｣ twice to add a newline

Thank you

This morning when I opened Thunderbird all entries that have other participants invited have disappeared. The entries without other participants are still there. I am not aware of an update. I can create new events and invite people. It seems the data is just gone somehow, and I somehow need it back.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Thunderbird: 91.11.0 (64-bit) How to reproduce: no idea

Korzystam z Thunderbird Portable 102.5.1 (64 bity) i mam problem z kalendarzem. Jak tworzę nowy kalendarz, obojętnie zdalny czy lokalny (import z pliku .ics), to po prawej stronie, w sekcji Bieżące / Events pojawiają się najbliższe wydarzenia, ale widok jest dostępny tylko do następnego uruchomienia Thunderbirda albo do zmiany daty – po 24:00 wydarzenia znikają. Nie umiem sobie z tym poradzić i praktycznie codziennie muszę zakładać/importować nowy kalendarz, który mam i na koncie Gmail i zapisany na dysku. Zaimportowałem też PolishHolidays.ics ze strony www.thunderbird.net (by Artur Majcherczak) i z tym kalendarzem nie mam żadnych problemów – święta są widoczne po każdym uruchomieniu TP. Proszę o pomoc.

I am using Thunderbird & Lightning for a long time - thank you for your work on that!

I'm heavily using calendar-events with status (CONFIRMED/DECLINED/...) but in my current knowledge i have to go a long (click-)way changing that status: Click on Event->Click on Edit->Click on Settings/Status->Select Status.

Is there a faster (less clicks) way to do it?

Thank you for your help!
