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 ?

I am using Thunderbird Supernova and am pretty happy with it. However, I cannot figure out how to specify a different time zone than the system timezone when creating an event. For example, if I just bought a flight that departs at 4PM London time and I am in Miami when creating the event, how can I create this event without having to convert that time to my current time?

Surely this is possible but I can't figure out how. Thanks for any help!

Dear All,

I'm moving away from proprietary platforms and am setting up Thunderbird to manage my calendars. My calendars are hosted on a Synology and synced via caldav.

Sync seems OK, but interface-wise, I cannot find a way to have my events showing their location, directly from the calendar view (even daily).Clicking on the event, the location shows, but I really need to see them directly from the day or week view (I'm a teacher, so at a glance, I need to know in which class my next lesson is).

Is there a way to set this up, or a feature to be requested?

Many thanks!

After adding my nextcloud calendar via CalDAV in Thunderbird 115 (no plugin) I can perfecly add or remove events to the calendar and they get synced well, however, if I receive a notification the button to dismiss them does not do a thing. Firat I thought this is related to Birthday reminders, but it is also true for events I have added to the standard calendar via Thunderbird.

Sorry if this is a double post, but I only found similar issues with older versions of Thunderbird and a plugin for the calendar.

Hi,

For some reason, I don't see the calendar subscriptions in the Calendar view. I restarted the app, and I'm at the latest version. I did install an add-on that made things a bit wonky (a markdown plugin, but I'm not sure if that's when the calendar subscriptions disappeared). I uninstalled it. I noticed the problem after I had uninstalled the add-on.

Does this problem seem familiar to anyone? If so, how did you fix it?

Thanks,

I'm getting duplicates of calendar items using the Provider for Google Calendar whenever I enter an event in Thunderbird. This doesn't happen when the events are posted elsewhere, on a Google Calendar. When I'm about to enter a new event, I can see a line labeled "Calendar" that gives me 3 choices ... 2 of them are the same, like xxxxx@gmail.com and the other is GMAIL. I have 2 gmail accounts sharing on three devices ... my laptop, my phone and my wife's iPad. Once I've finished and closed the event, I wait a bit and I get the duplicated item beside it. When I right-click on an event that I've put into Thunderbird, I see a line that says "Organizer:" with my gmail address. I don't see anything like that when clicking on a duplicate that has popped up. There is also a Related Link ... https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/event?eid=X2M5ajYyZTluNnRpajBiOWo2OWg2YWI5a2NkaGphYmIyYzhzNjRiOW02cGozaW9wcGNkaW04b2hnY2tfMjAyNDAxMTFUMTgzMDAwWiBnaGNoYXJ0ZXJzQG0 ... but it comes up as "requested URL not found on this server". I hope I've provided enough information here to get this situation resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gil

Hello,

I am getting old, my vision is much weaker than it used to be and now I have what is commonly referred to as "Eye Floaters." There's nothing that can be done to fix that, but with dark themes I can usually not see them. Due to a bug (or feature, if you prefer) in the Windows 10 Scaling and Layout settings, once you change them, there's no going back, at least that I have found. Low vision forced me to try to increase the font size in Windows, and in the (seemingly irreversible) process, I set Scaling to 150%. That fixed the problem of text being too small, but it also affected many programs in a negative way. Everything is waaay too big. For example, the menu bar and overall page header in Firefox was massive, taking up nearly a third of the top of my monitor screen. It did the same thing in Chrome only worse. The page footer was almost as big and between the two it left about two inches in the middle to view a website's content. This was very annoying to say the least.

I found a fix for Firefox, by changing the ui.textScaleFactor to 100. However, that did not work for Thunderbird. I found a way to fix it, by going back to Thunderbird 102, and now the email and address book are fine, and the calendar works fine, except for the colors with really bother me. I can't read the screen without looking away to the right of the screen. This is because the colors are too bright, and that is in a dark theme. I don't even want to look at a light theme. It would probably blind me.

Here's what I have. The 1st image is what it looks like, and the 2nd is what I would like to make it look like. Is it possible to do that? Please excuse the low quality color replacement on the 2nd image...

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'm using an old, no longer supported add-on called Reminderfox that saves its contents in ics format. I used to be able to import this to Google calendar and Thunderbird but for some reason they and also Microsoft Outlook won't now import the ics file. They either give an error as in Thunderbird's case (error, no items to import) or just remain greyed out so I can't do anything else as in Google and Microsoft's case. I have submitted the ics file to an ics verifier online and it says there are no errors. I have also looked at the file in notepad and can't see any obvious errors, although I'm not fully conversant with the ics format. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be or anything else I can try please?

This morning there was an update to Thunderbird. When I reopen the program I can no longer see the right end of the screen. There is no toolbar to scroll over to see that side, and I've been unable to resolve this in the settings. I am using Density > Compact and I do not have any add-ons installed. See screen capture. I will have to stop using TB if this can't be resolved.
