I have daily tasks that I dismiss every morning. When I open the Tasks tab, all the dismissed tasks are still there. Is there a delete the completed tasks so they don't clutter the task list? The attached image shows my list of dismissed task, all in red.

Trying to sync my outlook and gmail calendars in Thunderbird 140.10.1 and consistently getting an error I haven't seen before: "status.Settings.138". Event log reads: Request: <Settings xmlns='Settings'> <DeviceInformation> <Set> <Model>Computer</Model> <FriendlyName>TbSync%20on%20Device%20fc68426d642076cda9a60b0dd8f3</FriendlyName> <OS>WINNT</OS> <UserAgent>Thunderbird%20ActiveSync</UserAgent> </Set> </DeviceInformation> </Settings>

Hello,

I was adjusting the width of the calendar list, and every time I clicked on the adjuster icon (that line and arrow that you slide to grow or reduce area), the line moved to the right automatically, until the line went to the far right side and all you see is the sidebar. I can't slide it back.

I have quit Thunderbird and re-launched, and also restarted the Mac. No change.

Thanks for your assistance.

Hello,

I want to use TB to access my GMX CalDAV calendar. Basically, this works fine. But completed Todos disappear from the list after a day or so ("Show completed tasks" is checked). If I export the whole calendar to a ICS file, the todos are included though.

Is this a bug or is there a configuration where I can change that behaviour?

Thanks for any help, Markus

Hello,

i used the new feature to add my icloud calenders to thunderbird. that works fine. But the existing icloud Birthday calender was not separately choosable and dose not appear in thunderbird. what do do? Thank you!!

Best Simon

Is it possible to have my Outlook calender (the email is already in thunderbird) in my thunderbird and the calender should be editable and when I add events, I also want it to show on my calender in Outlook. TBSync is not working anymore. Please help me!

hi all. if i create a new blank Task it automatically pre-selects today's date as the start date, and if i create a Task from an email it sets the date the email was received as the start date. i know can filter tasks lists, and hide columns, but the real issue is how it looks on the calendar; with the fixed start date, setting a due date in a month's time results in a fixed, ongoing task for a month. is there any plugin or setting that will just stop TB setting a start date that i can't change, or letting me explicitly set it myself?

Apple ID and password are saved in Thunderbird but every time I open Thunderbird it now askd for apple ID & password. Was working OK originally about 3 months ago but itn the last 2-3 weeks has started to ask for this info, If I type it in with my apple ID and the apple specific password then the calendar opens. It I say save password the next time I open Thunderbird it asks for Apple ID and password. and so on and so on.....

My iCal calendar has been connected to Thunderbird for ages and the connection has survived several updates on both ends. The Server is Nextcloud (currently 32.0.0.13). In the Today pane next to my Inbox I always have the "Tasks" view open. Creating, editing and completing tasks works as it always did. But some time ago (I don't know when exactly) all options in the "Filter Tasks" sub menu became greyed out. This used to work and I'm not aware of any change I made.

The same happened on my other system which runs Thunderbird 149.0 as the ubuntu-snap-build supplied by Ubuntu on Ubuntu 24.04.

Is there something I can do or is this a Thunderbird bug?

In version 149.0.1, the calendar layout seems to have changed so that, in the week view, the days are rows instead of columns. Is there a way to change to days being columns? The new layout really does not work for my events. I have short events that now can't be read at all because the event is too short to display any part of the event title.

On my home computer and my lap top I have Thunderbird installed. Both profiles are identical. The emails on both systems are updated by just downloading them from the provider account. My calender is normaly used on my home computer as well all appointments are saved there.

Going on longer trips away from home I would like to import all my calendar data from my home computer to my lap top. Copying the complete profile takes too much time. By just copying the calendar-data file to my lap top I do not get a working result. What do I miss?

Thanks for help Detlef

Hi,

I'm not sure how, but the default orientation of my calendar items in day or week view is stuck on horizontal. I don't remember any express change that I made, and combing through the settings and online research has not yielded a solution. I'm not sure how to switch it back, and it's pretty inconvenient!

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi I have successfully linked my TB Calendar to Nextcloud. However, Tasks are not syncing.

When I go to create a task in the shared calendar TB advises: Please select a calendar that supports tasks

I understand later versions of TB now handle CAL and CARD Dav better.

Some have suggested using TBSync addon, however that appears to only support account creation for Google and MS calendars, but not Nextcloud.

Is there a setting in TB or NextCloud I am missing, or an addon ???

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

I recently transferred to a new Win 11 system. I copied the profiles over and all my address book and settings are working. I have found that my calendars are not. I have three sub-calendars attached to my Home calendar, one was downloaded "USHolidays" and is working, the other two I created and are grayed out. The hover message says they are "momentarily not available." How do I fix this so they appear?
