I use reminders on events - for the past few days when a reminder pops up - if I dismiss it (as aponsed to telling it to sleep for hours/days) it moves the event from the calendar..... I'm using Thunderbird 78.5.1 I think it might be a bug...

My pc will not let my password work. Failed to connect to server. Bellsouth.net. Been acting like this for three months, Gmail works, not bellsouth?

Currently in every ( major ) calendar application out there: Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Microsoft Outlook there is a way ( once someone sends a calendar invite ) to suggest another time. In Mozilla Thunderbird Lightening this is not possible.

Today, you have to message whoever sent a calendar invite and ask them to change it and this is a lengthy and many clicks waste of time effort. Lightening should be like any other package:

  - ( check mark ) Accept, 
  - ( question mark ) Tentative : with a drop down for propose reschedule  and then allow for a date and start time & end time change which can be sent back to the creator only. 
  - ( X mark ) Decline 
  - ( ! mark ) Propose Alternative 

Without this functionality changing meeting times with Thunderbird Lightening is VERY time consuming!

How long will it take to see this basic functionality in the next version of Thunderbird Lightening. Can't believe in 2021 such a piece of functionality is not standard.

This question is a followup to Thunderbird 78.2.2 Calendar "TODAY" highlight

That question provides details on how to edit userChrome.css to (differently) highlight "today" and/or the selected day.

Unfortunately, while it works in the month and multiweek Lightning views, it does not work in the week view.

Does someone know which selector must be used to target that view to similarly change the highlight color?

I have tried things like:

    .calendar-week-day-box-current-week[selected="true"] {
       background-color: Gold !important;
    }

But this (and other similar selectors) does not work.

For some reason I can not get the developer tools (inspector) to show me the selector name, so I am flying blind!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on this!

I regret very much that the lightning calender can't be trusted any more, even since several months. is there a chance that this will be fixed? I trusted the reminders. Best regards Konrad

I would like to suggest adding a function: ✓ to Thunderbird so that I can show that I have done this task but wish to preserve information on when it was done and perhaps an event number supplied by the entity receiving what I did so that I can use that to find the event if I need to contact that entity. I would like to make ✓ an easily findable option to add at the FRONT of any item in the calendar. I suspect that others would like this option, too.

Example: ✓Paid x bill for y.

Thank you.

TB 78.10.1 32 bit won't sync to Google calendar. If you know of an alternative to Provider or another route to syncing my TB calendar I appreciate your advice. Thanks.

I have two CalDAV calendars - one for tasks and one for a regular calendar. The task calendar is assigend to no email address and the regular calendar is assigned to the email address, where I'm receiving calendar invites (I did that in calendar settings).

The issue is, that I'm getting error 80004005 when I try to accept or decline a calendar invitation.

When I look at details in the error window, it seems that for some reason Thunderbird tries to accept the invite with my task calendar, which is not possible (the server refuses that). This is happening despite the fact the task calendar is not assigned to be used with my email. Based on my calendar settings, Thunderbird should be accepting the invite with the regular calendar.

I tried removing all calendars and then adding them in various orders, but always with the same result. I tried this on two devices with the same result. After deleting the task calendar, invite accepting works fine again (but I don't find that to be a solution).

I'm running version 78.10.0

Thanks for any help!

I had to create a new profile to get Thunderbird back again. Lost all settings and making all new from scratch.

In my former profile, I had my tasks displayed in the calendar. Can't remember how I got it this way. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Since latest upgrade I have experienced instability with access to iCloud calendar. After updating any calendar item the calendar displays a warning badge and hovering over badge displays [paraphrasing] "calendar momentarily unavailable."

Restarting TB alleviates display of badge yet any attempt to update results in failure message and re-appearance of warning badge.

Creating new calendar item will create a new item (able to be viewed via separate device) yet new item does not appear in calendar view until TB is restarted.

Win10 (64-bit) Version 20H2 (OS Build 19042.985) TB Version 78.10.2 (32-bit)

TIA! John

I cannot create calendar entries after the update. If I go directly to Google calendar and create an event, it then shows in the TB calendar but I am not able to create an event directly in the calendar???

What is the best application to replace Thunderbird and Thunderbird Calendar. I have loved Thunderbird dearly. The way I can get emails from multiple account including Gmail is magic. Calendar was indispensable to me. However the loss of Calendar Tweeks to colorize events is too much for me.

I have supported Thunderbird with a yearly $100 donation. I hate the Google / Apple / MS outlook alternatives , they all rape your privacy.

All I really need is for Event/Categories to color the entire event instead of a small bit at the right.

Please let me know your opinions.

Is there any way to change the color of the reminders to match the color of the corresponding calendar? I have two different calendars and have changed the color of each. My problem is that the reminders pop up and all look the same. It would be nice if they could show in the color that matches the corresponding calendar. Or at least allow that as an option.

Hello,

I started receiving a calendar reminder which i cannot dismiss or delete. The event appears grayed out in the calendar but nothing happens when I press the delete button.

The same issue occurs when i try to dismiss the reminder in the pop-up - pressing the button does nothing. I can't snooze or dismiss it.

This error is logged in the debug console:

Lightning: [calGoogleCalendar] Deleting item Gong Gaming OP call failed:2152334343: [object Object] Lightning: [calGoogleCalendar] Modifying item Gong Gaming OP call failed:2147500037: {

}

}

I am using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) MacOS Big Sur 11.4 (20F71) Thunderbird version - 78.11.0

Can someone please assist ?

Best regards, Nikolai

Thunderbird 78 / Windows 10

I am trying to insert/attach a local document to an event/meeting. I appear to only be able to attach a webpage (which is not really an attachment per se).

I can attach documents to emails no problem.

Is there a setting in the editor I need to enable in order to allow this basic feature?

I have in the past set my in-box so that the latest mail is at the beginning. But this new version has changed it again. How do I get the "In-Box files listed in chronological order again?

This is a followup to an earlier question that is archived. For many months I used the Lightning Calendar within Thunderbird synced to my Google calendar using TBSync. While TBSync no longer formally supports Google accounts, my previous settings still work fine, and there is prefs parameter to enable support. My problem has been that I can no longer set the default calendar for new entries.

Previously, I followed instructions to edit the Config File by adding a calendar.registry.....default value for the calendar I wanted as default, making it true, and making the previous default parameter false. However, that no longer works. I can change the settings, but they revert back every time I restart Thunderbird.

I just discovered that there is a list of calendars pane on the left that can be activated. I was not seeing it because I had extended the calendar body over the pane area. By enabling Calendar List in the Views menu, and carefully opening an area to the left of the calendar, I got the calendar list back. If I click on one of the calendars in the list, then that becomes the default. I checked, and this actually makes the changes in the prefs file that I had previously made to set the default. However, now the default reverts back to Home every time I restart. This appears to be a feature of Thunderbird itself, perhaps added when Lightning was integrated into Thunderbird.

I am trying to find out if there is a way to get set the default calendar different from Home and keep it there after future restarts. The properties box for the calendars in the calendar list has some options, but none to set a default calendar. Does anyone know of any way to do this?

I was considering abandoning TBSync and just setting the link to Google with the new CalDAV feature that is included in Thunderbird. However, I assume that this will not change the way that Thunderbird seems to always reset the default calendar on startup.
