So. Thunderbird released an update, I updated, and all my custom event colours, that I really need, have gone from old to current see attachments. This was asked https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1326997?utm_campaign=questions-reply#question-reply

And a solution found that worked. Now Mozilla in their ludicrous wisdom have somehow screwed this up again. Anyone have a solution that works? I and lots of other people like the whole event title bar being a single colour. These 'dots' at the end are useless to see. Thanks PS Stop screwing with the settings. What to add something new, then create an add-on.

Hi Team,

I recently started using THunderbird as an inbox and calendar tool a new business we have started with my team. I have a couple of questions.

1. I have the e-mail app on my android phone, but how can I get thunderbird calendar on it? 2. My other two businesses use google domain and e-mail accounts and my personal calendar is also on google. How can I sync the thunderbird calendar with my google calendar, so that events which I create, receive, accept on one of the calendars (i.e. Thunderbird) will automatically appear on the other (i.e. Google). 3. And is there a way to sync the calendars so that I can edit calendar events from everywhere (regardless of where they have been created)?

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards, Alex

Hi, I use new version 115.1.0. When creating calendar event and adding attendees, they don't get the invite and I don't see the message that sent in sent items folder. Please assist

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

My TB data spans decades, for emails, tasks & events [oh, & also contacts]. I've lost count of however many TB iterations / versions it's lived thru. It began life yonks ago in Win7, & lives now, for many years, in Linux.

For at least a couple of years, my Calendar has had this annoying problem. For many Events, but not all, it is just impossible to directly duplicate them. Both Ctrl-C Ctrl-V, & RMB-Copy RMB-Paste, simply do NOTHING [for it seems like the majority (but not entirety) of my Events].

Research lead me to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2015334 [my distro is #Arch not #Fedora, but IMO that's irrelevant]. I was galled to see that bug report was closed without action or solution; also that it was raised only with Redhat not actually Thunderbird.

In exasperation, recently i conceived this inefficient albeit effective workaround: for the target Event, RMB-ConvertTo-Task, then edit said new task to desired date for the intended duplicate, then convert said task to a new Event... then correct all the text formatting that was lost by this silly indirect process.

I've wondered if possibly the database has become corrupted somehow due to surviving all the historical TB version changes, to cause this duplication problem. So last night i thought i'd Export the Tasks & Events ICS file, then Import it into a clean TB profile elsewhere [in some vague hope that this process might magically "fix" any putative data corruption]. The Export nominally succeeded, being an 81 MB file. The Import failed every time, with the error msg per pic.

What is a frustrated TB user now supposed to do, please? [btw, current version is 102.10.1 (64-bit), in ArchLinux KDE Plasma].

Hello I am having issues with my calendar option not retaining the events that I have entered. I have never had this issue before. I have no clue how to get it to retain the entered events. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Monique

For many years I have been printing each month with all dated information. I use that info to manage my life and meetings. The new version 115.3.3 (64 bit) will not allow me to print a month. What do I have to do to print what I need?

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.

As mentioned in title I cannot use the calendar function at all. Same with tasks function:

• I can open the calendar tab, but that's it.
• There is no calendar on the calendar list, and the 'plus'-icon to add a new calendar is greyed out.
• There are buttons to change the views (week, day etc) but these also are greyed out.
• Same issue with tasks: I can open the tab, but cannot add any tasks

It all worked with older versions of TB. I had several calendars in place, no problem. But after some upgrade everything is gone. The calendars, originally set up on TB, are still there, but only accessible on the g-account...

Version: TB 91.11. Add-ons: Provider for google calendar

Any idea? I really want to use TB calendar function instead. If I could at least only set up a new calendar, that would be very helpful. Thx a lot in Advance!

Hi there,

I use the newest version of Thunderbird and I am superscribed to several work-related calendars that I need to check from time to time, like the one where people put if they are doing home office, are in holidays or sick, etc. However, I don't need to see all this information in my Today Pane view in my Inbox, because it usually gets messy . How can I edit the configuration of the Today Pane so it shows only my personal calendar or selected ones?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best, Victor

Version 91 works correctly on other machines. On one machine that is updated to 102.0.1: Create a New Task DOES work for CalDav calendars. Convert mail to task DOES work for local Home calendar. Convert mail to task does NOT work for CalDav calendar. No task gets created. (It does still work in 91.) Move a task from Home to CalDav DOES work if the Home task was created with New Task. Move a task from Home to CalDav does NOT work if the Home task was converted from mail message. CalDav is DAViCal (on Linux, Apache) which is still serving TB ver. 91 machines. All TB 91 and 102 instances are running on Windows 10 21H2 with Firefox 102. Any advice? What more can I tell you?

While using Yahoo email I tried to access the 'Notepad' page and get a message saying to Download a new version of Firefox to see the 'Calendar' even though I was trying for the 'Notepad' not the 'Calendar'. If I try for the 'Calendar' I initially get the small right-sidebar version fine but if I ask for the full page version I get the error message again. This does not happen if I access Yahoo through Chrome-browser. I have repeatedly done the download to no avail. (I have version 99.0.1). I am attaching a screenshot of the error message. Thanks for any help. No rush.

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.

Since TB 115, I have issues with the "invite" functionality of Lightning, as follows.

It generates errors as follows:

• "invite" does not work. I can add emails to be invited to an event, but the invite is then not sent at least with the option "notify" + "send individual mail" (other alternatives such as open visible list of destinatories are not feasible due to privacy)

• when opening an "event" from the calendar, it displays in a full-screen format (see screenshot_2) that lists all invited attendees

• The "invite attendees" window works but has a strange pink block on top right (see screenshot_3)

• the page where the format of sending ("notify", "send individual mails") is not accessible any more

Currently the calendar as such works fine. But the "invite" function is critical for the use I am giving as transnational NGO to invite to meetings etc. All worked fine with previous TB versions.

System config: WIN10 prof, all updates installed, fully licensed, AMD Ryzen 9 5900X etc. (mid-end system built in 2022).

Thanks for looking into a solution.

Since updating Thunderbird to 102, I can no loger import the lightening calendar. Exporting a .ics file from one pc works but on trying to import it into any other pc or the same one, I get "No importable items found in the file". Any help would be appreciated.

I see that I can save an ics file from an email or website and import it from within thunderbird. I want thunderbird to be my default calendar app, so I can just click on / open an ICS file and it does so in Thunderbird, NOT Outlook. I don't even see a way to uninstall outlook without having to uninstall office altogether (not a viable solution).

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?
