I just reinstalled Thunderbird v115 on new hardware with Windows 11. I share my wife's calendar, both hers and mine are Google. I used to be able to add events to both calendars. But now I can't seem to add an event to my wife's. When I click the save and close button the window goes away but I don't see the entry. The Read only box in properties is not checked. How do I fix this?

OS: Windows 11 Pro (23H2) Tb Version: 115.9.0 (64-Bit)

This is more a design question. With the Supernove release you moved the search bar and action icon into the top of the window. So on the email and calendar tab all the buttons are now on the very top next to search bar.

I configured to create new appointments in a new tab, not an extra window. But in this appointment tab the action buttons are in a seperate action bar below the tabs for email and calendar and not next to the search bar on top like I would have expected it according to the new design. I added screenshot to describe better what I mean. Is it planned to move the action buttons to the top for the new apointment tab?`

In general it is a bit annoying that the height of the toolbar on top varies. Like if there are buttons and you choose "show text below symbols" for it the toolbar is higher, of course. But then if you have a tab without symbols, e.g. the settings-tab or the new appointment tab, the height of the toolbar reduces. It would be great if this could be standardized.

Hi, When creating an event in the calendar view, I get my timezone displayed (Europe/Paris), I set my starting and ending time and save.

On event display in the calendar, I immediately notice that the time is off by 1h. On viewing the details, the right time is displayed but on 'Europe/Dublin' timezone. Changing it back doesn't fix the time, timezone always change after save.

I took a look at my settings, tried to use "use system timezone" (= Europe/Paris) of forced it to Europe/Paris, even checked the config editor, but nothing changed.

Did I miss a setting ?

My calendar is sync by CalDav (using TBSync), don't know if this could be related.

When I create a new calender entry on my mail server (mail.de), it is synced to the Thunderbird client.

When I create a new calender entry in the Thunderbird client, it does not sync to my server calender.

I use Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit) on macOS 13.1 (22C65).

Thanks in advance for any support.

After exporting the Thunderbird calender, the tasks do not appear in the destination calender, only the calender entries. Is it possible to export/import tasks? Emclient was the destination email client.

Given that I want to create a new event in the calendar with a description When I click on +New Event Then a tab opens that is so large given my 175% scaling that the Description field for the New Event is just above the taskbar. I cannot see what I am typing beyond the first line. There is no scrollbar to scroll down, nor a way to collapse the fields above.

=> This design is inadequate for 30% of the world population that suffers from presbyopia, or age related poor sight, and uses a large scaling.

I have Windows 10 and Windows 11 installed on my computer. When I switch between them, I have the same email stuff, which is good, but I have different calendars, which is bad. How did I screw up?

How does one enable calendars in Thunderbird version 115.8.0? When I click the calendar icon on the left of the page, I get a calendar displayed but it has a message highlighted in yellow that says: "All calendars are currently disabled. Enable an existing calendar or add a new one to create or add events."

I cannot find anything in settings or elsewhere to enable calendars.

TIA

I am trying Thunderbird with outlook.com email and calendar sync. Mail works fine, but I cannot connect using the tbsync and eas sync addons. When I try to add the account using exchange option, it just keeps querying for my credentials and reporting http 401 errors saying the credentials are incorrect.

What is the answer??

Last week (and for years before) I could view my Google calendar, edit appointments and respond to invitations. in Thunderbird, Now the Thunderbird calendar is completely empty (all 5 calendars that I have subscribed in my Google Suite account). The Google mail account still appears to work normally in Thunderbird, and the Google calendar is visible in other clients (e.g. Samsung Calendar under Android or Outlook (MS 365) under Windows 10). I am using Thunderbird 15.8.1 running under Ubuntu Studio 22.04 LTS. Any ideas what happened or how to restore calendar functionality? Was there a recent update to Thunderbird or to the Calendar module?

Hi. I just started to use thunderbirdb calendar and I'm a bit confused about 'Tags.' Should I be able to add a tag to a new event or task? If so I see no option to assign a tag to an event or task.

How do I distinguish between an event and task?

Thanks, James

I use Thunderbird calendar for all my events and without it I am lost. Yesterday, I wanted to export my calendar to be imported later by an online platform. I used the export function. I noticed however, that under the name of my calendar on the left pane this has appeared ( . export). I thought the ics file is already created, so I went ahead and deleted the strange ". export" item that appeared under my calendar name in the left pane. What happened next was that all my events disappeared from my normal calendar window. My question is how I can get back all my events? Or how I can restore the ". export" so my events come back.

Additional information: I did not have backup for my calendar. I cannot locate anywhere the ics file I thought it is "exported" I am using the latest version of Thunderbird as of March 2024.

Calendar print shows two items where only one exists. See attachments of both the original Google Calendar and the TB calendar prints. If only one of the calendars is selected, the print is correct

It has been about a week now since 115.8 tried to install on my Windows 10 but could not without my password. I have been on Auto update for years now and could not put in correct password. It was suggested I go back to 102 and start over with a new account. I did. I have 102 and can send and receive emails. Problem is 102 does not show all emails that show in my same account when I log into Ionos.com host of my email account. I created another problem going to Thunderbird 102, birthdays. I have no access to my Thunderbird calendar not only for this month but all months this year and forever. I made a copy of everything in my account prior to going back to 102 to get a new password. How to I get my 2014 calendar back. And first thing I do if and when I get it back is to use a pen and paper to write down birthdays and whatever I want to remember and save it on paper just in case this happens again? Thanks.

When I create a new calendar event, I would like them always to be Private, as a default. I would also like to suppress the requirement that the recipient respond.

Can either/both be accomplished with either an advanced configuration setting or with an add-on? I've searched add-ons, found none that accomplish either.

Thanks

Hello, For about 6 months, I experience repeated incidents on the synchronization of calendars between Thunderbird and an Android app. The Android app and the CalDav calendar visible on Roundcube are in line. But some, not all, events do not appear in Thunderbird. When I enter the same event in the same calendar in Thunderbird, it is visible and flows correctly to the hosting server and to my phone. I have several calendars and it seems to happen specifically with one calendar. Their setup look identical and they are hosted on different mail accounts but under the same hosting contract. In the error console, I see errors related to server sync :

  carddav.sync: Sync with server failed. CardDAVDirectory.jsm:652:11
      syncWithServer resource:///modules/CardDAVDirectory.jsm:652
  NS_ERROR_FAILURE: Incorrect response from server: 403 Forbidden CardDAVDirectory.jsm:245

The id and password look Ok. They are the same as the imap connection, that works Ok. Also, I raised the Sync frequency to 1 minute and the above error doesn't appear as frequently.

Does that sound familiar? Is there something I should me specifically check? Best regards, Emmanuel

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 ?
