I'm getting duplicates of calendar items using the Provider for Google Calendar whenever I enter an event in Thunderbird. This doesn't happen when the events are posted elsewhere, on a Google Calendar. When I'm about to enter a new event, I can see a line labeled "Calendar" that gives me 3 choices ... 2 of them are the same, like xxxxx@gmail.com and the other is GMAIL. I have 2 gmail accounts sharing on three devices ... my laptop, my phone and my wife's iPad. Once I've finished and closed the event, I wait a bit and I get the duplicated item beside it. When I right-click on an event that I've put into Thunderbird, I see a line that says "Organizer:" with my gmail address. I don't see anything like that when clicking on a duplicate that has popped up. There is also a Related Link ... https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/event?eid=X2M5ajYyZTluNnRpajBiOWo2OWg2YWI5a2NkaGphYmIyYzhzNjRiOW02cGozaW9wcGNkaW04b2hnY2tfMjAyNDAxMTFUMTgzMDAwWiBnaGNoYXJ0ZXJzQG0 ... but it comes up as "requested URL not found on this server". I hope I've provided enough information here to get this situation resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gil

I have 10 subscribed calendars to sync and all but 3 are from different sources. myical.ics, Hawks.ics and F1-2023.ics are from the same source (a folder on my web site - www.peterashby.com/events/). Hawks.ics and F1-2023.ics work fine, as do the other 8, but myical.ics does not display (so I don't know if it syncs or not). This only started happening yesterday. myical.ics syncs perfectly in google calendar and passes a couple of ics validation tests. I tried a new profile but the problem remains the same.

Any ideas please ?

Hi,

I want to sync with read-write access to my Google Agenda on Thunderbird. I already have a Google mail account set up, works fine. I followed the steps on the blog post by downloading and installing the Provider add-on.

When I go to add a Google Agenda, I enter my email account and a popup opens and closes immediately (the popup asking me to log into my account I imagine).

See the screenshot attached as I managed to take a picture right as the popup appears and disappears immediately.

Hello,

My email host (Epik) recently removed their calendar server, hosting9.epik.com, and switched it over to a new URL. I removed all my network calendars and saved passwords for hosting9.epik.com, and added the new calendars with the new URL. However, every few minutes I get a pop-up (four, actually, one for each calendar account) asking me to provide my credentials for hosting9.epik.com. Of course my credentials no longer work and these modal dialogs block progress until they are all closed via the "X". This process repeats every few minutes and makes Thunderbird virtually impossible to use.

Can you please help me remove any/all references to hosting9.epik.com in my Thunderbird settings? I have removed the saved passwords and calendar accounts, and none of my email accounts' servers (IMAP and SMTP) refer to hosting9.epik.com. If there is somewhere else to look, please let me know. Is there some settings file I can edit on disk to remove these references, that are not available via the GUI settings? If not, I fear this may be a bug causing Thunderbird Calendar to connect to deleted servers.

Thank you!

With the update to release 91.13.0 the icon to open the calendar disappeared from the tool bar. The icon is now located above the search box. How do I get it back to where it belongs?

Hello,

I am getting old, my vision is much weaker than it used to be and now I have what is commonly referred to as "Eye Floaters." There's nothing that can be done to fix that, but with dark themes I can usually not see them. Due to a bug (or feature, if you prefer) in the Windows 10 Scaling and Layout settings, once you change them, there's no going back, at least that I have found. Low vision forced me to try to increase the font size in Windows, and in the (seemingly irreversible) process, I set Scaling to 150%. That fixed the problem of text being too small, but it also affected many programs in a negative way. Everything is waaay too big. For example, the menu bar and overall page header in Firefox was massive, taking up nearly a third of the top of my monitor screen. It did the same thing in Chrome only worse. The page footer was almost as big and between the two it left about two inches in the middle to view a website's content. This was very annoying to say the least.

I found a fix for Firefox, by changing the ui.textScaleFactor to 100. However, that did not work for Thunderbird. I found a way to fix it, by going back to Thunderbird 102, and now the email and address book are fine, and the calendar works fine, except for the colors with really bother me. I can't read the screen without looking away to the right of the screen. This is because the colors are too bright, and that is in a dark theme. I don't even want to look at a light theme. It would probably blind me.

Here's what I have. The 1st image is what it looks like, and the 2nd is what I would like to make it look like. Is it possible to do that? Please excuse the low quality color replacement on the 2nd image...

The Today Pane is showing no events. The events show fine in the Calendar mode, but not in the Today Pane when set to Events.

I tried using Troubleshoot mode and it made no difference.

I have version Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/102.15.1

Right clicking anywhere in the Events area of the Today Pane does nothing at all. Right clicking in the Tasks area does show a menu, but nothing in the menu has anything to do with Events.

After moving from Win 10 to Win 11, I exported my TB calendar events on the Win 10 PC, and imported them on the Win 11 PC. Now I can't edit or delete the imported events. The "edit" and "delete" tasks are greyed out.

All help's appreciated

Recently rcvd a pair of reminders from my/our calendar (attached). When I attempted to Dismiss/Dismiss All, the reminder dialog remained open. There was no hint of any activity related to the dialog response at all. I closed the dialog using the upper right corner X and shortly thereafter the dialog reappeared. Once the dialog reappeared, I attempted to Snooze/Snooze All. Again, there was no hint of any activity.

1. TB is up-to-date @ v102.4.0 x64.
2. The workstation was restarted just to be sure something else related to the current Windows session was not the cause.

Anyone else experienced this recently or have suggestions on possible ways to remedy it?

So I was having problems changing an event to a different day. I performed an update, restarted, recheck updates, restarted PC Open thunderbird, mail appears Okay, calendar Okay Still cannot change an event (appointment) and it has lost the last appointment I added yesterday I decided to just add the adjusted even as a new event, and all calendars (2023, 2024, Holidays, birthdays) all now blank, and .ics fils are all 4.0 kb Seriously what has happened. Was working 3 days ago perfectly, now it's "stuffed". 1. Calendar is Blank 2. Cannot add anything new 3. creating a new calendar (restored from backup) is BLANK -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

Is there any way to get of duplicate scheduled items in the Calendar? Everything is duplicated! I'm not sure how they got there but it might have happened when I was trying to fix a differenct problem. Can I disconnect from the Google Calendar then reconnect?

This question hints that there might be a way to subscribe directly to the Google holiday calendar rather than downloading and importing it. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

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.

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.
