Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi,

I noticed when dismissing any and all calendar event with Thunderbird I'm always presented with a "Item Changed on Server" dialog.

It asks me to "Submit my changes anyway" (even though I've made no changes) or to "Discard my changes and reload"

It doesn't occur on any other app that I use to receive calendar notifications, it should just dismiss when I click dismiss from the initial alert.

Is there something I've missed in the set up or a work around to prevent this dialogue to pop up when I "dismiss" a calendar notification?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave

Hi guys.

I have a small problem that I'm trying to solve. I'm in Linux, but unfortunately, I still have to work with MS outlook, in VMWare, because Thunderbird have a lack of functionalities comparing to MS outlook, and I cannot live without these functionalities. I manage over 100 complex calendar notes per day, with attachments (e-mail attached, images, and other calendar notes attached).

The following functions could increase the functionality of thunderbird if they were implemented: - Select several notes at the same time, to delete them, or to Drag and drop to another hour or another day, just by releasing the notes in the day using the side calendar (that has the number of the days) or releasing the notes on the day visualizer; - Select several non contiguous days using the function key CTRL (example, day 3, 8 and 15), to view them side by side, and/or to drag and drop calendar notes from one day to another; - Ability to add attachments to calendar notes.

I'm really looking for a management of the calendar, similar to Microsoft Outlook, but I don't want Microsoft, I want open source.

Do you guys know if there are plans to implement these functions in any near future?

Thanks in advance.

It has been a long running irritation that an all day event shows as free time Is it not possible to have the checkbox that allows me to set the time as busy or free ( and defaulting to busy! ) It would be really helpful thanks

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?

I recently upgraded (and then downgraded) to 102 release but was very disappointed to note that the release disables the very useful WebDAV and tbsync add-ons that are mission critical for me to sync my calendars from my hotmail and google accounts in and out of Thunderbird. These work great on TB 91 release and I had hoped that the new release will either provide support for various calendars (Google and Microsoft at the very least) out of the box or preserve the calendar sync support using the existing add-ons at a minimum.

Is there a way to make these calendars sync in Thunderbird 102 release? If so, please help. - Thanks a ton!

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?

I use Thunderbird 102.2.2 in Ubuntu 22.04.

Since I updated from Ubuntu 20.04, I have an issue with the calendar. I use Google Calendar for synchronization with other devices. It works well overall, just some events that I have in Google Calendar don't show up in Thunderbird.

I have tried synchronizing manually without success. It happens just with the birthdays, maybe because they are repeating events from year to year, I am not sure.

What can I do to fix this issue?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I want to submit a feature suggestion for Thunderbird, but I don't know where to put it.

My idea is that we could name each reminder for the event and that way we would know which reminder has just gone off. If you have 3 or so reminders for each event, then when the event appears you don't know if it's your day before, 2hrs before 1hr before etc. It also means that you can't write something like "that event is tomorrow" or "leave in 1hr" for example. So I would like to be able to name each reminder.

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.

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.

When I enter an event on Thunderbird, it is immediately reflected on my online Google Calendar. However, when I enter the event on google calendar website, it does not automatically appear on my Thunderbird Google Calendar. Don't understand this. The only add-on I have on Thunderbird is the 'Provider for Google Calendar' (to allow bidirectional access to google calendar). I don't see any settings to fix this. Help! Note: It updates when I press 'synchronize' on Thunderbird, but I don't want to have to remember to do that. Should be automatic!!

Hello, I've had massive problems with it since the update to Thunderbird 102 and the migration of the Google calendar directly into Thunderbird. Appointments are not created, I cannot write an appointment description or it is not saved and transferred. Often an exclamation mark appears after the calendar name in the calendar overview, it is not synchronized - unfortunately it is so very difficult to work with it - or otherwise, even almost impossible. Are there other reports with problems in this direction or is it my system and the settings? I would be very happy about help or tips, many thanks and best regards Ps. is the help also available in German?

I have installed Thunderbird 102.3.0 with Lightning Calendar Tabs but I can't see Calendar Invitation Accept, Tentative and Decline buttions also I can't see html links in description e.g. teams meetings which was working properly with old version.

Also our old calendar description not showing after upgradation of new version.

Hi, I want to connect my university timetable to my calendar in thunderbird. The university timetable site (which is running Eveoh MyTimetable) gives me an ics link that does not require any authentication. If I paste this into a web browser I can download an ics file, and if I use this link in the calendar app on my iphone I can subscribe to it, however if I try and subscribe to it in thunderbird, even if I check that it requires no authentication, it asks me for a password, but no password is correct and I cannot subscribe to the calendar.

I'm running 102.3.1 on Windows 10 64-bit.

The attached image shows a Month view after selecting "Today" (which is the 10th). There is a random day that has a colored frame around it, and today's day has only the date # colored. Why doesn't the frame move to Today's date?

Incidentally, the Multiweek view seems to work properly, selecting "Today" will move the frame to that day.

When Month is selected for the Calendar display, and invalid date is highlighted when I click Today. When I restart Thunderbird the correct day is highlighted, but does not update when the date changes at midnight. This happened when I applied the most recent update.

I am running thunderbird v 102.3.2 on windows 11 PC. I run the same setup on a windows 11 laptop, this is working perfectly.

My PC is not displaying any calendar content from Google. There is a triangle against the name of the calendar which says that the calendar is "momentarily unavailable." This has been the case for over 24 hours. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the google calendar without success.

As well as my laptop, I can access this calendar on my iphone, and my wifes iphone (we use it as a shared calendar). I can also see it online at https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ What do i need to do to get back the calendar function on my PC?

I recently updated my pc to Thunderbird 102.3.3. I cannot get my Google calendar to sync. My calendar is blank. But the available calendars are displayed int calendar panel the left. I've got the Provider for Google Calendar extension installed. It seemed to have started with 102.3.1 update.

Funny thing is on my laptop same version is installed and everything works fine.

I have problems reading my Thunderbird (v. 102.4.0) calendar on my iPhone. My email provider offers calendar via CalDAV, and my iPhone connects to it. But it seems to be empty. Does Thunderbird 102.4.0 set up my calendar as CalDAV automatically? Or do I need an add-on? Is there some way to check this?
