Email notifications in Calendar

After using Thunderbird and the Calendar - synced to my Google Calendar - for many years I find myself with a new installation of Tbird on a new PC running Windows 11. I've got the calenders all setup and synced and everything, but when I try to set notifications the only choice available is "Show an alert". It also used to offer "Send an email". I want the ability to send those email notifications, not just phone alerts. I've looked through the settings and don't see anything obvious. So how do I get it to send notifications via email? Thanks, --Brian

Neither of those links had the answer, but they addressed the problem and I was able to follow other links within them to find that what I need is Provider for Google Calendar extension. I installed that then unsubscribed / resubscribed to my calendars and they now allow me to send an email reminder. Thank you very much!

It is my understanding that the provider addon is only needed to provide access to google tasks, that is not needed for calendar.
