I am running TB 102.9.0 and use Provider for Google Calendar to sync my calendar with my other devices. Information that I receive from Google Calendar is correct, but any entry that I add to my computer has been shifting by one hour since daylight savings started. I have checked the timezone settings on my computer and in Google Calendar and all are correct. I tried deleting my Google Calendar subscription from TB and adding it back, but everything is still off by one hour. What more can I try?

I want to, because snoozing and dismissal appear to modify the tasks / calendar entries on the server rather than locally, and I don't trust that Thunderbird shall not modify them incorrectly.

Please Someone help ?
I have followed all the suggestions I can find, but my Thunderbird Calendar will not sync with the Outlook Calendar on Windows 11. I am using TB Sync, but every time I try to add my Outlook Calendar ? It refuses to accept my Password, even though it is correct, and the User name and email are too ! It shows as error code 401, and cannot authenticate ?
I have tried a suggestion to create an 'App Password' to use in my Microsoft account, but the options described do not exist in my account !
Can anyone please help ?

Hi all Thunderbird enthousiast :)
In version 102, using the Lightning Calendar, when creating or editing a calendar event, how do I automatically send an email reminder(s) before the event start?
I tried. But Lightning "Set up Reminders" window offers only the "Show an alert" option. The number 6 in this screenshot shows the location of this challenge at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-50-55-b4905f.png
What I need is, still in this screenshot above, 1 hour before this event starts, Lightning to automatically send an email message reminder to a preset email address(es).
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Below is the same question as above. But with details if you're interested in those.
Steps to reproduce this challenge:
1. Using Thunderbird Lightning, click on the "Event" button to create a new Calendar event
2. The "New Event" window will open
3. Using this "New Event" window above, using its "Reminder" field, select the "Custom..." option. The numbers 1 et 2 in this screenshot show this at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-49-18-5d2120.png
5. The "Set up Reminders" window will open
6. Using this "Set up Reminders" window above, open the "Choose a Reminder Action" menu. Lightning offers only the "Show an alert" option. This screenshot shows the location of this challenge at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-50-55-b4905f.png
7. My question is this, 1 hour before this event starts, how to configure Lightning to automatically send an email message reminder(s) to a preset email address(es)?

Suggestion:
• If somehow Thunderbird version 102 is not yet able to send an email alert, then this is a suggestion for a new future. I'll try to create a new suggestion at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas Then I'll try to add the link here. • I recall that in a previous version of Thunderbird Lightning, its "Set up Reminders" window offered multiples options to choose from. Including "Show an alert" or "Send an email message". Could part of the previous Thunderbird code be recycled for Thunderbird 102? • If needed, both me and the Ubertus.org team would be happy to contribute beta testing and documentation for this new feature. Any volunteer for a patch?
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
What I tried that did not work:
• Clicked on the "Choose a Reminder Action" drop down menu. Only one option is available. It reads "Display alert". • Double-checked that the calendar is a Network Calendar (CalDAV) • Double-checked that the calendar "Properties" as an email address associated to it • Added my email address to the list of Attendees. This does send email notifications. But only on Event creation or event changes. This is not what I need. What I need is, for exemple, 1 hour before an event start, send an email message to be automatically sent to a set email address(es). Assuming that during this period I leave my Thunderbird both open and connected. • Searched for add-on about email alert at https://addons.thunderbird.net/fr/thunderbird/extensions/ I found none able to send email alert before an event start.

I'm not sure when this started happening but Thunderbird (115.3.1, Linux) is no longer sending email invites to my invitees, even if some of those invitees are on my same host. as "Organizer" I do get an email notice to my personal email, which is the default attendee, with subject "Accepted: testing", and body, "mfoley@novatec-inc.com has accepted your event invitation.", but nothing is sent to the other invitees on the list. I checked the error console which showed these messages after I created the event:
NotFoundError: No such JSWindowActor 'DevToolsFrame' 6
1701371572264 Toolkit.Telemetry WARN TelemetryStorage::_scanArchive - have seen this id before: 9c1e2d46-28f9-430d-86d7-398dd0ad3bdc, overwrite: false

Not sure these apply to creating a calendar event. My server settings are fine, I can send and receive mail to the Thunderbird inbox without problem. I can send email from the Thunderbird client without problem.
Any idea why I can't send event notifications to invitees?

When I install Thunderbird 102.1.2. (64) on my Windows 10 PC and install a calender (via net) with a link to my Synology DS220j NAS. Thunderbird shows a turning wheel for hours. In the task manager the "inbox" seems not to run. From then on, I get always the turning wheel when I start TB. I could stopp this by deleting the directory "calender-data" in preferencies and delete the Synology-Calender in TB afterwards. I see this behavior on 2 PCs. The Synology Caldav works fine with Outlook and some Androids. Has/had anyone the same issue and a solution how to manage it?

I updated to the new Thunderbird 115. I imported my folders etc with no issue with only 1 little problem - my local folders are in between my 2 email accounts and I can't seem to move it down but not a big deal.
The real problem is my calendar events. I had a very full calendar and after the update, my calendar is empty and blank. I have no idea what to do. Everything else imported fine. The calendar is the only calendar I use. Hope someone can help.
Thank you Norma

Hello,
Just started using Thunderbird for its calendar, but I can't find the settings for Calendar Events. I am aware that I can select a specific calendar and go to its Properties Window, but I want to access the app's settings for all calendars. Research shows that there should be a Calendar tab in the app's settings tab, but it isn't there for me. I only have the General, Composition, Privacy & Security, and Chat tabs. Can someone please help me get this tab to appear?
Thanks!

I am evaluating TB and the integrated calendar. I had no problem installing mail and calendar in terms of synching, mailing, and receiving except one: The calendar page will not refresh unless I hit the Hide/Show eye icon next to the calendar. Sometimes it also shows if I toggle from Today to Week.
Calendar properties do not show any options at the bottom for refresh cycles (see attachment). Other specs are below.
This is a show stopper for me, since appointments that were transferred but not showing are of no use. Please advise.

Have not found a way (yet) to sort or filter my Lightening Calendar Events by an assigned "category ID".
I've also not been able to find an extension or add-on that may address such a capability.
For example: I have a series of medical appointments scheduled throughout an upcoming year or any time-frame. I would like to be able to sort or filter on the category ID that I've created for those appointments.
It is likely possible that I've overlooked an obvious option or even add-on, but so far No Joy.
Creating a "Task" is a possibility, but Tasks will not appear in the Lightening Calendar display.
Any suggestions please?
Hi,

Hello everyone,
First of all I would like to say that I love Thunderbird! I am also not very IT literate when it comes to manipulating software or using the correct language so please bear with me, I find these a bit overwhelming.
I was hoping someone could help me with with my calendar, I have tried to change settings on other software and it went terribly wrong and I don't want a repeat. I have read the various help files but it doesn't make much sense to me :(
I have a domain with Dynadot for my website and email, it's basic but does the job for my small business. It has IMAP abilities and an autoreply but that's about it- there's no calendar app but does have an email app... just. On my Windows laptop I use Thunderbird for all emails and calendar requirements which is great when I'm using my laptop. However, I do meet with participants and don't always use my laptop so I need a way to be able to view and book appointments using my andriod phone.
I also have a member of staff who needs access to my calendar and be able to book appointments for me and vice versa. As we are both out and about a lot the calendars need to be "live" and easy to reach, much like the paid for Outlook shared calendar.
At the moment my member of staff doesn't use Thunderbird as their main software, they have Outlook. We did try another email/calendar app but their shared calendars were just links that we had to save and keep logging into, it was a nightmare and without the updating we had some double-bookings. I don't want to go through that again, it was embarassing.
I would greatly appreiciate your wisdom in how I can resolve my issue and easy step by step guidance on how to do it properly. I am the type of person who will get locked out of everything!
Best wishes Rebecca

I added the United States Holiday Calendar to my Thunderbird Calendar.
As it has zilliions more holidays than I care to see (World Pneumonia Day, for example) I would like to remove it. I added it as an internet supplied calendar, not stored on my computer.
Can someone please tell me how to remove it entirely? Also, is there a different, more modest calendar I might add somewhere out there?
Thanks in advance for the assistance. I have searched for a way to do this but have not found anything.

Today I received from Ubuntu's repo the update to Thunderbird 102.2.2.
I have linked Thunderbird with my Nextcloud instance https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/user_manual/pim/sync_thunderbird.html
this is done by using 2 addons: - https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/ - https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/dav-4-tbsync/
unfortunately they are both incompatible with Thunderbird 102 therefore automatically disabled.
How can I use Thunberbird 102 with Nexcloud?

If I create an event in a Google calendar in Thunderbird 102.11.2 and the Provider for Google Calendar, it correctly shows me as the organizer with no attendees. The Google Calendar app on my Samsung A13 phone running Android 12 shows it correctly on my calendar. If I then edit the event in Thunderbird and save it (even it I don't make changes), I am listed as an attendee to the meeting as well as the organizer. This causes my phone to show the event with a black interior rather than the normal color for events on my calendar. My presumption is that the black interior means the event hasn't been confirmed by all attendees. If I "remove all attendees" in Thunderbird for the event, my phone shows it correctly again.
I saw a similar problem report on the web about Google adding the organizer as an attendee. It said something about being logged in to "the primary" calendar when creating the event on a google calendar, but with no explanation about what the "primary calendar" is, and the description of that problem isn't exactly what is happening to me.
Removing all attendees or just living with different colored events on my calendar are viable options, but it is annoying. Any suggestions would be welcome.

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.
