Chosen solution

Lightning by default only supports CalDAV calendars, to my knowledge. Other online software require add-ons, most notably Google and Office 365.

I haven't tested this personally but other people online report success with this add-on.

I looked up instructions for you, this seems to be a guide to setup such sync between Thunderbird and Office 365. If it works it would be nice to come back and share your results here.

Many thanks for your reply and I have managed to set up this and downloaded my Outlook Calendar in to Thunderbird. I have to say it has been more trial and error as it did not seem to follow the guide, although this could be me as I am not familiar with Thunderbird and still trying to find where all the settings are and the guide presumes you know where they are (not helped by the screenshots being in German). But a big thank you to for your help and the add on developers

Hello again, just following up on my request for translation of the screenshots, it's now done.

BTW the correct link is https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/wiki/How-to-get-started (fixed above) - I hope this is helpful to others too!

Many thanks for the update on the translation, it is working great for me. I am not sure if there are options as I have not found them as yet to have the week start on Monday, rather than Sunday and also to be able to view 2 months in the left hand pane, other than that enjoying Thunderbird and the add on
