Information on how to add the Google 'Tasks' into Thunderbird Calendar: I have a gmail imap account using OAuth2 as Authentication Method.

File > New > Calendar, select 'Google Calendar' >  click on 'Next' choose or enter: gmail email address   > click on 'Find Calendars' Select 'My Tasks' and click on 'Subscribe'

You may be asked to enter password as per Oauth2 Authentication.

See image. It shows the selection available when you follow instructions. It shows where 'My Tasks' is located in the Calendar list. I selected 'My Tasks' and then clicked on 'Task'. Create the Task and save. Task is shown in Thunderbird and on the right side you can see the Task is displayed via the webmail access using a browser.

I am probably trying to do something very stupid or it has a very obvious solution, but please bear with me. It seems my Thunderbird install, version 91.1.8 and now updated to 91.9.0, Win10, does not have a calendar function whatsoever. I tried to find the setup of calendar in every menu available. I have been running and updating this install for some time. For some reason , the outlook calendar satisfied me until now, but I am no more satisfied with the inefficient reminders. - it is not in the account setup - there is no calendar icon anywhere - it seems impossible to add the lightning extension to Thunderbird, as it is now supposedly included in TB: but where? Any hint?

Hallo, i've updated my Thunderbird to 91.8.1 on my Kubuntu 18.04 Lini9x machine. I have some *.ics files attached as calendars via ftp (ftp://192.168.1.1/Kalender/xxx.ics). After the update Thunderbird/Lightning tries to open them in firefox.

Every time Thunderbird/Lightning syncronises the calendars, different tabs occur in Firefox trying to open the files. Thanks a lot in advance, Gruß

I am evaluating TB and the integrated calendar. I had no problem installing mail and calendar in terms of synching, mailing, and receiving except one: The calendar page will not refresh unless I hit the Hide/Show eye icon next to the calendar. Sometimes it also shows if I toggle from Today to Week.

Calendar properties do not show any options at the bottom for refresh cycles (see attachment). Other specs are below.

This is a show stopper for me, since appointments that were transferred but not showing are of no use. Please advise.

Thanks, Michael Clifford Details below

My calendar is suddenly a day behind on all of its dates, and the time for adding an item to the calendar is off by an hour. Is this just my computer (MacBook Air), or are others having this problem too?

Hello this morning Thunderbird Updated in Germany to Vers. 102. At vers. 102. Calender shows no categories in Google Calender or Web.de Calender.

Since upgrading to Thunderbird v102 on my Mac I've lost events from my Lightning Calendar. I seem to have lost all my bi-weekly or monthly repetitive events (my one-off or annual repetitive events seem to be in tact).

I've tried closing the calendar and restarting Thunderbird but all to no avail. I was wondering whether I might restore my Lightning Calendar from my Time Machine backup (before I updated to v102) and, if so, what files I might need to replace.

OK, TB is driving me crazy with two Zoom events (plus others in the past that I just had to delete because they were so annoying.)

Whether I click "Dismiss All" or click on the individual event and "Dismiss", they pop right back up. Same thing happens when I try to close the window.

I have removed mail extensions (Provider and another that I can't remember the name of), deleted the calendars, restarted TB, and added the Google Calendars again... but they still pop up.

And, again, this seems to only happen with Zoom events but not all Zoom events... not even all Zoom events on one calendar.

Finally, the calendar is not set to Read-Only.

This is driving me crazy because not only can't I Dismiss them, they also beep every five minutes. Right now I have to disconnect the Calendar before I lose my sanity.

Since upgrading to v102 I've lost events in my calendar and am progressively losing historic data that I wanted to keep (events that were there last week aren't there this week). I've tried copying a backup of local.sqlite and checked the entries in prefs.js to no avail. If I can't fix then I'm going to have to dump Firefox and Thunderbird.

Hello. I wanted to ask you about the option of switching between calendars in thunderbird I have two gmail accounts and I mainly use one of them altogether with the calendar. Thunderbird automatically loaded the calendar from the other account. I tried to switch it by going to Edit - Calendar preferences - and marking the right calendar account but it still didn't work. How do I do it? I also change the language but somehow the actions don't apply. Is there an option how to save the changes I am making?

I followed the instructions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1364439 After pasting in the URL of the Google Calendar from the browser, the process asks for the password used for the Google account. I provide the password, but the response is "The credentials you have entered were not accepted."

To confirm that the user name (my Gmail account) and password were entered correctly, I logged out of Calendar on the browser and logged in again using the credentials that were refused by the Create New Calendar process.

This isn't a showstopper, but it would be nice to have the calendar in Thunderbird.

I'm migrating to a new computer and from Windows 10 to W11. I have successfully exported/imported the contacts using the export tool, but cannot figure out how to ex/im the calendar. I am using a SanDisk drive to move the files. Both systems have TBird 102.1.2 (64-bit).

Please give step-by-step instructions to do the calendar (only) ex/im. I do not use the Mail feature.

It's not on settings. I found this css code but don't know how one installs css for thunderbird. I got as far as opening the config editor on the calendar options. But I don't see what entry it is.

Alternatively if I can change the weekend colors that would work well. They are nearly the same yellow as the CURRENT color.

Thanks!

When I install Thunderbird 102.1.2. (64) on my Windows 10 PC and install a calender (via net) with a link to my Synology DS220j NAS. Thunderbird shows a turning wheel for hours. In the task manager the "inbox" seems not to run. From then on, I get always the turning wheel when I start TB. I could stopp this by deleting the directory "calender-data" in preferencies and delete the Synology-Calender in TB afterwards. I see this behavior on 2 PCs. The Synology Caldav works fine with Outlook and some Androids. Has/had anyone the same issue and a solution how to manage it?

It's a pity that we reached version 102.1.2 and till now a common problem has not been solved. In email composing window when misstype a word there is the red indicator for mistakes and then by right clicking we get the correct proposed words. In event creation we get only the red indicator for mistakes. Nothing more. It's a pity a so much advertised version to lack such a basic feauture.

I have followed all of the instructions by Toad-Hall (as far as I know ) for making categories in my calendar different colors (instead of the small bar at the right).

I have made sure that the legacy is not false I have opened Profile, added folder called chrome, copied the text given into folder called userChrome.css (this was saved as txt, which I changed to css).

I then started Thunderbird and still find that I cannot get full color in my events.

What have I done incorrectly? (I am on a Mac running Big Sur). Thunderbird version is 91.12.0

Thank you for any help.

With the update to release 91.13.0 the icon to open the calendar disappeared from the tool bar. The icon is now located above the search box. How do I get it back to where it belongs?

This morning when I opened Thunderbird all entries that have other participants invited have disappeared. The entries without other participants are still there. I am not aware of an update. I can create new events and invite people. It seems the data is just gone somehow, and I somehow need it back.

OS: Ubuntu 22.04 Thunderbird: 91.11.0 (64-bit) How to reproduce: no idea

Have not found a way (yet) to sort or filter my Lightening Calendar Events by an assigned "category ID".

I've also not been able to find an extension or add-on that may address such a capability.

For example: I have a series of medical appointments scheduled throughout an upcoming year or any time-frame. I would like to be able to sort or filter on the category ID that I've created for those appointments.

It is likely possible that I've overlooked an obvious option or even add-on, but so far No Joy.

Creating a "Task" is a possibility, but Tasks will not appear in the Lightening Calendar display.

Any suggestions please?
