Thunderbird-Hilfeforum

No matter how many times I re-create the link, I cannot get my subscription calendars to either work at all or if they do they work very rarely. Forcing a sync doesn't help. I can see the same calendars just find online and in other calendars including but not limited to Mac OS Calendar.

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but pretty recently, my calendar started showing 6 weeks (in 6 rows) instead of less (I think it was 4).

How do I show less weeks at once (so more of each day's pane is bigger and shows more of itself), like it used to be?

I have Thunderbird for Mac v 115.6.0

Thanks, Ted

Specific 'Calendar' topic, but could also be considered to be about updating (improving) the Thunderbird controls/options/addons.

Is this a Feature Request, per say? If so, is it in the right place here? If not, where to put this?

Platform: Windows 10. Issue: Thunderbird (Lightning/Calendar) keeps aggressively stealing focus, i.e. putting the Reminder window on top of whatever else I am doing. This is incredibly annoying and unproductive. The only option is to completely disable Reminders, which defeats the purpose of course. See also, for example, https://www.reddit.com/r/Thunderbird/comments/185c727/how_can_i_prevent_the_reminders_window_from/. Requirement: I would like to still hear the Reminder sound, and it would be great if the application also 'gets highlighted' (in orange) on the Taskbar (like many applications that have something new going on, but do not immediately push themselves to the foreground) to get a visual Notification, as well.

In any case, this overly dominant behaviour of the application should NOT persist.

TB 102.5.1 (64-Bit), Windows 10 When I want to add a new date or change an existing one, the window does not pop up. However, hovering over the TB taskbar icon, I can see the window as a thumbnail. Very annoying bug, I believe was introduced with the 102.5.1 release.

In every version from 118 beta to the latest, the Calendar View Events filter option is limited to max 1 year. In previous versions, there was a filter option to view All events. I need this option in filter to be re-instated because 1 year is not enough. I want to see all events to manage my calendar more effectively.

Events on external calendar created before 102 update all show, or did, I assume to due to Offline Support, but updates, changes, new events added since were not syncing, and after Unsubscribing and attempting to re-add the ext. calendar, Thunderbird is not able to 'find' the calendar at all, I just get a spinning ball.

The same external calendar is successfully being found and updated by another service. I use a Mac.

I used to have 3 calendars. now everything shows in one calendar named 'calendar'. how do I get to display one calendar at a time. In the current display under column 'calendar, name' I see 3 different names and the items in the display are pink, green, and yellow. I think at some time I hit 'synchronize' by mistake.

Thanks for your help.

My OS is Linux Mint 20.3 Una base: Ubuntu 20.04 focal Thunderbird version 102.4.2 (64-bit) "Today" marker does not advance to current calendar day after midnight of the previous calendar day in monthly view. The monthly view is the only view I use. If the < Today > link at the top of the calendar is mouse-clicked, it does not advance to the current day but remains on the previous day. To advance the day marker I have to click either "<" for previous month or ">" for the next month and then click Today. At that point the calendar will return to the current month and highlight the current day. This problem was also present on a previous version of LM (18.3) My add-ons are: Cardbook v. 83.6 ConfirmBeforeDelete v. 1.7.0 Lightening Calendar Tabs v. 2.8 Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV v. 4.3 TaskviewFlexLayout v. 62.9

There are two disabled extensions which could be uninstalled as they have been disable "since dirt was young,": TabAddressBook ToDo.txt Both were automatically disabled by Thunderbird due to incompatibility and I have no further need for them The active extensions are used with regularlity. This is a "livible" problem but but an irritation. Searches with multiple search engines have turned up nothing on this issue since 2020 and/or v. 68 of Tbird. Thank you in advance for any assistance you may provide on this issue. Mozilla software has bee my default software of choice, also "since dirt was young," and for what it's worth (which is very little) I check viable alternatives virtually every six months to see what your "competition" has to offer. Particularly, your configurational granularity is STELLAR! Once again, thanks!

When I double-click on an event in my TB Lightning calendar, the event details window/popup/whatever-you-call-it opens up at a fixed size which 90% of the time is too short vertically to see the Edit button. This forces me to have to resize it manually just to be able to click on Edit. This is making the calendar very annoying to do. Any of the following might help:

1. How can I change the default popup window size?
2. How can I make the manually selected size sticky?
3. Can you change the default size to automatically be tall enough for the Edit button to be visible?

Thanks for your help

Hello there,

I know it is possible to provision user settings over the .js files in /defaults/prefs. However, I would like to configure the "Prefer client side email scheduling" options over this file. For that I would have to input the exact ID of the calendar, which is not possible due to a big amount of users. I also looked up wild cards (like calendar.registry.*.forceEmailScheduling) but unfortunately they do not work.

Is there any other way to achieve configuring specific calendars with certain options, like the one I described?

Kind regards, Alex

It's a pity that we reached version 102.1.2 and till now a common problem has not been solved. In email composing window when misstype a word there is the red indicator for mistakes and then by right clicking we get the correct proposed words. In event creation we get only the red indicator for mistakes. Nothing more. It's a pity a so much advertised version to lack such a basic feauture.

I can no longer see the .ics files that were once used. There are some sqlite files but they are unintelligible to me.

I would like to be able to read calendar entries, without modifying anything.

Would someone please point me toward any documentation, or advice.

Hi,

I am running Thunderbird 115.6.0 on Linux.

One of my calendars is on a Synology NAS with Synology Calendar.

I can create new events. As long as I don't close Thunderbird I can change the events as well.

But after a restart of Thunderbird I cannot change the events anymore. Ending up with a o/rjcpdo/pdo/faa15765-29e1-4470-80d7-5157b042bddf.1705244573723.ics [HTTP/2 405 Method Not Allowed 817ms].

I can still change the event for instance on the default calendar of Android. The changed events also show up in Thunderbird.

After changing the event on Android. I can change the event in Thunderbird again untill restart.

What I've seen so far is that the working link from Thunderbird is different than the link when it is not working. Not working. https://XXXX.synology.me:80/caldav/xxxxx/rjcpdo/pdo/faa15765-29e1-4470-80xx-5157b042bddf.1705244573723.ics

working: https://XXXX.synology.me:80/caldav/xxxxx/rjcpdo/faa15765-29e1-4470-80xx-5157b042bddf.1705244573723.ics

I've changed part of the link (xxxx) but it is the extra pdo part in the not working link.

Anybody any idea what is going wrong here?

Regards

I've used thunderbird with gmx calendar for many years. Apart from persistently forgetting its "stored" password, I've never had any problems.

But about a month ago, I started getting a message that the servier wants to redirect from the usually-correct https://calendar.gmx.com/begenda/dav/[my name]@gmx.com/calendar to gmx.com.

At first I didn't accept the redirection, but the calendar stopped syncing. Then when I did accept the redirection, the calendar disabled itself altogether. Using the ENABLE button didin't help.

The GMX calendar itself is working fine:

• I can access by logging in at gmx.com and the organiser tab
• the calendar still works fine via my lineageOS phone
• if I go to https://calendar.gmx.com/begenda/dav/[my name]@gmx.com/calendar while still logged in, I can download a raw list of all of my events

GMX support suggested removing the calendar from firefox, changing the password on gmx and adding it up again. Mostly it was not possible to add it, with thunderbird giving the message:

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-04-16-00-57-44-0e6dec.png

That long location is the location suggested as correct in gmx thunderbird FAQ. But I also tried setting the location as gmx.com or caldav.gmx.com with the same result.

Eventually after trying on numerous occasions I managed to add the calendar again, but in less than a day I was back to getting the redirect message and the calendar not syncing.

I've removed the gmx calendar, reinstalled thunderbird and tried to add the calendar again. At the moment it will not add using any of the locations mentioned above. But of course, I can still access it via gmx.com and my lineageOS mobile.

Also tried adding with thunderbird in troubleshooting mode but no difference.

I subsequently tried two suggested addons (now disabled because they did not help):

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-04-16-01-13-26-d28ffe.png

• Thunderbird help says 91.8.0 and it's running on windows 10 64 bit.
• I don't have any caldav-related addons (nor did I need any in the many years when gmx calandar was working properly in thunderbird

I do have these addons (but the troubleshooting mode test should have eliminated them)

https://user-media-prod-cdn.itsre-sumo.mozilla.net/uploads/images/2022-04-16-01-19-55-b59057.png

What to try next? I'm only interested in the calendar, not gmx email and I'd prefer to see my calendar in thunderbird than at gmx.com

Hi, since updating to the latest Thunderbird (115.3.1 (64-bit)), my calendar invites are not getting sent out. I can make a new calendar event, and input all the info. Then I select 'invite attendees', and put in emails there. It is a little odd because my email is on the top, and then when I enter a second email below it it fills out two lines with the same email address. I can fix it, then hit "ok" and then "send and close". The people I invited never get emails. For some reason I automatically get an "accepted" email for myself in my email inbox, but nobody else gets an email.

Hi all, I work for a Company in north Italy, and we use Thunderbird, before the update we used Thunderbird version 102 and everything worked fine but now after updating, when a calendar entry is made and you add participants they won't receive an invite but will still see it in the calendar itself. I've looked for some options and found this: " https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/enable-email-invitations-caldav-servers-configured " " https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1309527 " I tried them but the option is still grayed out is there any way to fix it without changing our SMTP server?

Hi, I'm trying to figure out what is the correct procedure (if any) for migrating calendar/task data between different profiles WITHOUT using the UI (since upgrading to version 115, Thunderbird's UI became irresponsive when started with my existing profile , so I'm no longer be able to access my data nor to trigger the export procedure via the UI.

Can anyone point me to the right direction?

Thanks in advance for any answer.
