Hi. Ubuntu Unity 24.04 Thunderbird 140.5

When creating a New Message, the top 5 lines are missing - i.e the “End: (U)” (end time) line is displayed at the top of the screen. The only way to enter the Title of the Event is to drag the window down. Also, the Event window CANNOT be resized. This has been happening for more than a year now. Can you help? Thanks, M...

Hi, I want to print a list of selected events in the calendar, is that possible? Or, is there an extension that does it? And in the dream scenario I could export the selected lines to Excel.

I'm running Thunderbird 140.5.0esr (64-bit) on Windows 11 Pro.

I've been using Thunderbird for years, and I've had it connected to my Google Calendars since Lightning added support for it (and before that, used an extension to do it). A few weeks ago, I noticed that none of my Google calendar entries were present. They're just gone, even though they're all listed in Thunderbird and none are hidden. I'm not sure when they first disappeared, so I don't know if it corresponds with a version update (I was using 140.4.0 when I noticed. 140.5.0 didn't fix it).

I tried to re-synchronize the calendars, and nothing appeared, but there were no indications of any errors (nor any indication that there was any update activity occurring).

So then I deleted my calendars, deleted the account authorization info from Thunderbird, shut Thunderbird down, reopened it, and reconnected with Google from scratch. That logged in successfully and let me select which calendars I wanted to subscribe to, but once again, none of their contents are there. Nothing in the past or future.

Is Thunderbird's Google Calendar integration completely broken in v140, or is something corrupted in my Thunderbird install? If the latter, is there some residual file in my profile I should delete after deleting my Google account from Thunderbird, in order to reset this and get it working again?

Edit: I should add that I did check on Google's "syncselect" page for my account to confirm that my calendars are still available for sync. Nothing has changed here since it was last working in Thunderbird.

When syncing Thunderbird to Google Calendar, it creates two events for birthdays associated with Google contacts. Though it's not a critical bug, it does seem like after all this time it is something that should have been solved. Is any work being done to address this?

I've seen the workaround to disable birthday "Sync from contacts" in Google Calendar settings, but that removes the birthdays entirely from both Google Calendar and Thunderbird which is not really a solution. Thanks.

I set up some custom (number of days in advance) calendar event reminders of my travel plans in my Google calendar via my cell phone. I have my google calendar linked to thunderbird on my pc. I had accepted the invitations before I left on my trip. (looking at the details of the reminder it shows: "You have accepted this invitation.") I returned home from my trip and have several old flight reminders popping up in my pop-up box in thunderbird. I can try to dismiss them, by clicking on the dismiss button, but nothing happens. They do not disappear. But recurring birthday events from my google calendar, which are also in my T-bird calendar, are able to be dismissed from the T-bird Reminder pop-up box. A new event I created today in google calendar, flowed into T-bird with two custom reminders, but no event invite. (Is the issue with accepting invites?) I have tried unsubscribing and re-adding my google calendar, to no avail. I have tried to clear the T-bird startup cache, both with and without being subscribed to my google calendar, to no avail. Any help is appreciated by this confused user, thank you in advance.

Downloaded the Thunderbird U.S. holidays to my calendar. My calendar is overloaded with miscellaneous and unwanted holidays. I've tried methods on the internet to delete them from my calendar with no success. I'm sure there is a method, but no success in finding it. Please help! Do I need to unistall Thunderbird and start over?

Hello! I have a calendar connected via DAVMail (Exchange Server 2019), everything works. But when I create an event in the calendar and start adding participants, autocomplete does not work (there is no list to choose from the address book).

I have an LDAP address book configured for Global Address List (GAL) exchange.

I also imported the address book to Cardbook via .vcf.

How do I set up autocomplete in the calendar? (When writing an email, autocomplete works)

It seems like there is only a global setting to play a sound or not for reminders. Is there a way to customize this for individual event reminders? If not, there should be.

Hi, I have my calendar connected to my Google calendar. It works great in both ways. I can add in Thunderbird and it show up in Google and vice versa. But one issue, when I get a meeting invitation and I accept, it always get in the "Home" calendar and not in my Google one. I have tried to sort them with my Google at top, and if I delete all other calendars it can not be saved at all. And can not find any other settings.

Any suggestions? Or is it just not possible? Maybe a function for a coming update? Or have I just missed out some obvious?

Best regards /Mike

Hi all,

in my calendar, I have an appointment which was set when the person was in Cape Verde, and the time zone there was set to Atlantic/Cape_Verde.

Now, Thunderbird obviously doesn't know about that time zone, it's also not available in the picker (when creating a new appointment).

The appointment in this case gets shown in the calendar as starting at 13.10h, when it should be 10.10h (as I'm in Europe/Berlin).

How do I achieve that? I'm on Windows, TBird 142.0

Thx in advance, Cheers, Peter.

Currently, the latest version is 140.20esr. Since the middle of last week, there has been a phenomenon where unsolved and unprocessed appointments set in the calendar settings are no longer displayed in the next day's alerts.

I use TB as a personal home email client & calendar. All the prenamed Category labels for events are primarily oriented to business use. If there a way to rename the Categories and apply a color that I want?

An error occurred when writing to the calendar Verjaardagen! Please see below for more information.

If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view.

The calendar is marked as read-only because it contains birthday's and reminders cannot be dismissed.

What is the proper way handle a anniversary calender and reminders?

When I add/edit a calendar event, it only allows for 1 reminder. I often set up multiple reminders for an event, especially if it is scheduled for several weeks in the future. I want to set up a reminder for '2 weeks before', '2 days before', and '12 hours before', but I can't find where to add the additional reminders.
