I FOUND no close TOPIC.

Google calendar allows color-coding of events - but the display is highly inadequate. T-bird 128 calendar apparently HAS no option to color events. But events are FAR easier to see WHEN color-highlighted. Would this be a difficult option??

It's not on settings. I found this css code but don't know how one installs css for thunderbird. I got as far as opening the config editor on the calendar options. But I don't see what entry it is.

Alternatively if I can change the weekend colors that would work well. They are nearly the same yellow as the CURRENT color.

Thanks!

Greetings:

The attendees I select are not receiving their invites to my calendar events. My version of TB is 102.6.0. All other TB functionality works fine...just not sent invites. I'm using TB on my Windows 11 Home edition desktop.There are no error messages seen or any other indication that invites are not being sent other then people telling me they are not receiving them.

Love this product, just started using it this year...robust & flexible interface. Please let me know what I can add to my information to help assist in what might be wrong with my config/setup.

Thanks in advance & God's peace

When new item is added to my Google calendar via Thunderbird that I share with my wife it is updated on my Thunderbird calendar it doesn't update my wife's Thunderbird calendar even using the synchronize command.

We have close Thunderbird and reopen it to get it to upload to her calendar.

Is this known bug?

I have always exported my calendar events in the CSV format to upload them to Google Calendar. That's gone. The Ical exported file is incompatible with Google Calendar. When attempting to import I just get a message reading:

"Imported 0 out of 0 events. Unable to process your iCal/CSV file."

I'm using version 102.3.0.

Any help is appreciated. Restoring the CSV export function would be even more appreciated.

I created a task in v102.3.1 (32-bit) in Windows 10 and made it repeating. It was due yesterday, I got the reminder and marked the task as complete - screen shot attached. Having previously used Microsoft Outlook to manage tasks I expected the due date for the task to increase by one month and therefore show as due in the future in the Today Pane. That didn't happen, the due date still shows as yesterday (03/10/2022).

As far as I can see I've followed the guidance in the help documentation so what do I need to do to get the task to show as due again in a month after completing the current month's occurrence please?

i tried to import a csv file from outlook.com to thunderbird, and all the values are in the wrong fields. E-mail addresses and names of every contact are in the wrong fields. For instance, if I have 100 contacts, I have to edit them individually in Thunderbird after importing the file. This is not helpful. Is there a way to convert the file so I don't have to do this? Please advise.

Hi!

I was wondering if it is possible to disable html when adding a description to a calendar event and just use plain text instead. I use many other email tools to sync my google calendar to and every time I add or edit a description to an event I have in my calendar with Thunderbird it messes up the whole description. When I then look up the description on my phone it just displays me all the html tags that got added by Thunderbird.

Would be very usefull to be able to deactivate this feature! Or maybe someone can point me to the correct setting to disable it completely!

Thanks for your help!

How can the Lightning mini-calendar (upper left) be made to show multiple months (like a whole quarter) Outlook can do this, has for many years. If there is a setting, I cannot find it. Is there an add-on?

Thanks,

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.

Korzystam z Thunderbird Portable 102.5.1 (64 bity) i mam problem z kalendarzem. Jak tworzę nowy kalendarz, obojętnie zdalny czy lokalny (import z pliku .ics), to po prawej stronie, w sekcji Bieżące / Events pojawiają się najbliższe wydarzenia, ale widok jest dostępny tylko do następnego uruchomienia Thunderbirda albo do zmiany daty – po 24:00 wydarzenia znikają. Nie umiem sobie z tym poradzić i praktycznie codziennie muszę zakładać/importować nowy kalendarz, który mam i na koncie Gmail i zapisany na dysku. Zaimportowałem też PolishHolidays.ics ze strony www.thunderbird.net (by Artur Majcherczak) i z tym kalendarzem nie mam żadnych problemów – święta są widoczne po każdym uruchomieniu TP. Proszę o pomoc.

Thunderbird 102.5.1 (64-bit) Windows 11

Since a few years back my Lightning calendar lost all the color backgrounds for categories, which was a plugin that does not work anymore. The small sliver of a color bar on the right side of the event on the calendar page is not helpful to see in a glance what category is coming up in a few days. I have several job categories such as Photography, Video Recording and Audio Job. If I can color code AND SEE them at a glance when I am in the month view is a great help. I am not sure what purpose it serves to have a thin slice of color on the right side of the event! If the whole background of the event line has that color it will serve some purpose. I researched and tried all the css hacks and config edits but nothing seems to work. Is there any help that we can get? I see that others are also looking for a solution that works in the latest version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

When I receive a meeting invite, which was scheduled for 10am ET, the meeting is created in my calendar for 10am PT (which is the time zone for calendar) instead of 7am PT.

When I open the same meeting invite in Outlook, the correct time, 7am PT, is used - so I know the meeting invite is correct.

This is issue is very frustrating as I don't know when the "true" time for the meeting is.

Using 102.6.0

Thanks

1. Today on opening Thunderbird I get a page with all the new features - can't find that after closing - can you give me a link?

2. BIG PROBLEMS though now with my calendar - all my repeating events have disappeared & it won't let me add new ones, only single events. I need this to work like it used to asap.

3. I want the daily events pane to be back on the right side of my screen - but can't find a way to make that happen - can that be done?

4. When the reminder pop up appears, if I click dismiss the now empty pop up screens stays open - how do I get it to auto close after I select to dismiss or remind me later like it used to?

Hello,

I have thunderbird. I have several email accounts set up. I have a Google Calendar. I sometimes receive invites by emails and I want to be able to accept them s.t. they get added to my Google Calendar automatically. I don't use the Calendar feature of Thunderbird itself.

- Now what I did was download the Google Calendar Provider Addon and synced my Google Calendar. This gets me the "no writeable calendar" found. - If I create a "local" calendar inside Thunderbird, it works but then it just addes the invite to the local calendar and I have 0 sync. - I thought maybe I use CalDav but File => new => Calendar just shows me "local calendar/network calendar/google calendar".

Any help is appreciated.

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

I am using Thunderbird on two Linux machines plus K9 on Android and I'm delighted with the way they all work well accessing the same email account.

When it comes to calendar functionality, the two instances of Thunderbird work well together courtesy of CalDav hosted by my web/email hosting company. On Android, I have a gap. I haven't had a working calendar on my phone since I chose to stop adding entries into Google Calendar.

I have two questions: 1) Does anybody know if Thunderbird for Android will have CalDav calendar functionality ? 2) Can anybody recommend a simple Open Source Android calendar app to fill what is hopefully a temporary gap ?

Thank you

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!
