I used to have 3 calendars. now everything shows in one calendar named 'calendar'. how do I get to display one calendar at a time. In the current display under column 'calendar, name' I see 3 different names and the items in the display are pink, green, and yellow. I think at some time I hit 'synchronize' by mistake.

Thanks for your help.

In every version from 118 beta to the latest, the Calendar View Events filter option is limited to max 1 year. In previous versions, there was a filter option to view All events. I need this option in filter to be re-instated because 1 year is not enough. I want to see all events to manage my calendar more effectively.

Hi,

I have several individuals stored in my Contacts for whom I've loaded their birthdates. I would like to receive reminders and/notifications in Thunderbird when these birthdates are approaching, say like 10 days out. Is there a way to configure Contacts and/or Calendar to get these reminders/notifications in advance of these birthdates? If so, how?

thanks, Tom

I use Calendly.com for scheduling my meetings. I'll receive a meeting confirmation email when someone books, and linked from that email is an .ics file I can import to Thunderbird calendar. This all works fine except that meetings imported don't respect the default reminder setting. No reminder is set at all for these meetings - I have to edit each event manually to append the reminder to match what I have saved in the Reminder Defaults section of Settings (15 mins).

Meetings added to my calendar in other ways (i.e. an invitation direct to my inbox) respect and apply the 15min default. This places the blame on Calendly so I looked at the .ics files I'm getting from there and find no TRIGGER reference at all. I imported an unrelated sample .ics file with the TRIGGER explicitly defined and this works, but in the absence of a TRIGGER reference in the Calendly files, my expectation is that the default reminder time would be applied.

Any advice on what may be happening?

Thanks

Running Thunderbird 115.6.1 (64-bit) on Windows 10. I can add an EVENT to any of my 5 calendars in the dropdown. But when I try to add a TASK, only 4 calendars are offered. Naturally, it's the missing calendar (xxx@gmail.com) I need!

Suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Thanks, Jeff

Is there any way to select other than the "home" calendar as standard? Have tried to change order in the calendar setting, but when I accept a meeting invitation it always place the meeting in the home calendar. I would like to select the syncronized Google calendar.

The syncronization with Google calender works perfect when manual enter something.

Would it kill ya to add a simple link to Google Maps (or even other map sites), if a calendar event contains an address? I use the Calendar a lot and make sure that I have addresses associated with events. This allows Google and Android Auto to pop up a notification asking me if I'm going to XYZ event. I then tap Navigate and off I go. But sometimes when I'm on my desktop I look at a calendar event and wonder where exactly I'm going to be driving to and I have to open the event and copy and paste the address into a browser set on Google Maps. It'd be way more convenient to just tap a link on the TB event notification or maybe in the right-click menu of the event on the Calendar or alongside of the address in the event details.

Been wondering about this for years and finally got around to submitting the request here.

This is probably not the best place to ask. But I would like to know how thunderbird parses icalendars. Is there is place I can see this file?

I am working on a project that uses [https://sabre.io/baikal/] Baikal

You can do a call that gets the icalendar properties but I am having trouble finding a library that can handle this. I have looked into two:

This is probably old but kind of works, however fails with malformed bad ics calendar properties link text

This one looks a little more complicated, and I think this is from some folks at thunderbird working the calendar from what I read. however fails with malformed bad ics calendar properties link text

What I do not get, is that the same ics for instance I am testing that is malformed, Thunderbird reads it like a champ and it is in my calendar. But when I try it in my own APP project, I can't get these front end libs to read it properly.

anyways, if anyone has some info on how the folks at thunderbird parse shared calendars I would love to read up on that lead.

Thanks! happy holidays!

Google Calendar on iphone - I want to have it available on Thunderbird on my PC. Advice please. Can't seem to find any comprehensible instructions.

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.

I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but pretty recently, my calendar started showing 6 weeks (in 6 rows) instead of less (I think it was 4).

How do I show less weeks at once (so more of each day's pane is bigger and shows more of itself), like it used to be?

I have Thunderbird for Mac v 115.6.0

I posted a question to the help community but I don't know where to see if anyone responded. The question had to do with how to sync my Windows 11 Outlook calendar with my Thunderbird calendar.

Calendar page does not fit on display window. Display is set at 100% (recommended) This was not a problem on previous versions. Day columns are wider. Can not find a way to adjust.

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to have a calendar feature that's like Apple's Calendar and like Google's Calendar where I can drop files into the date I create or will edit. I would like it to also have an unlimited attachments list where I can drop as many as I can. Also if I can drop off files or have the destination open on my drive/pc?

Best,

Kevin

Hello from New York City!

Is it possible to share a calendar event. When right clicking an event brings up a pop-up menu but a command to share the event does not exist.

Similar calendar event sharing functionality exists in other web based calendar software.

From an avid user on Win11x64 with Thunderbird 115.7.0 (64-bit).

Any clues appreciated. Thank you.

I recently updated to Thunderbird 115.6.0 on Linux. After doing so I can no longer add events to my calendar. In the error console I get the message, "An error occurred when writing to the calendar ... Could not find definition for Eastern Standard Time". This seems like a rather odd error. How do I fix it?

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have come a long way using linux but there is one thing I am missing dearly in Thunderbird Calendar: I want to see the next x days to move around my appointments if needed and to see my future days. On Wednesday I don't need to see the past two days but Monday and Tuesday of the next week, so I can use the time without switching to a month view or move my calendar around.

Is this hard to implement?

Thank you!

Best regards Dejan

I was wondering if there's a way to include more than just 4 weeks worth of events/task in the calendar sidebar? I have increased it from 2 weeks to 4 weeks but I would like to see more without going directly into the Calendar. Thank you,
