Thunderbird Version 152.0 Manjaro KDE Plasma 6.6.5 Kernel 6.18.36-1-MANJARO (64-bit) Graphics Platform Wayland ThinkPad T420

Successfully added monthly-repeating event for the first day of each month beginning at 00:00 hour with duration 0:00. These events correctly appear in another calendar (Google). This also shows there is no confusion between 'monthly' and '4-weekly'.

In Thunderbird's Calendar display, these events do not appear in day, week- and month-view modes, when the first of the month is the first day to be displayed. When the first of the month is positioned further into that view-mode's display then that repeating-event is correctly displayed.

The above happens in Thunderbird's Safe Mode with all add-ons disabled.

Many thanks PS. I am unable to report a bug in Bugzilla due to having lost login-credentials.

I've asked this before to no response. I JUST did a new search and found a users solution that I just tried to no avail. Which was to add the Provider for Google Calendar Extension, then unsubscribe and resubscribe to my Calendars! The old W7 version of the Calendar had the ability to have a Reminder EMAILED to oneself! That option with the new W11 version has disappeared! Can someone please ask the Coders to re include this option! THANK YOU! I 'LIVE" by this option! My Iphone 3rd party Calendar thankfully still has this option! But I would LOVE to have this back on my W11 Laptop in the Thunderbird Calendar!

When I add a calendar event, it defaults to Holidays in US. How do I change this to the calendar associated with my email address? I often forget to change the desired calendar. Also, How do I edit the Holidays calendar? Thanks BigSam

I have 4 gmail accounts in Thunderbird. The calendar shows items from all 4 accounts. My issue comes when setting up an invitation. Pretend my accounts are:

personal1@gmail.com personal2@gmail.com personal3@gmail.com business1@gmail.com

If I want to set up a meeting with invitations from business1@gmail.com, I select the account from the left side of the calendar list, then I create a new event on the day I want. The dialogue box correctly shows "business1@gmail.com in the Calendar drop down box at the top. I can then fill in title, location, category, time etc. But when I click on Invite Attendees, thunderbird has already added "personal1@gmail.com" as the first attendee and is waiting for me to enter the contact of the second attendee. If I add people and send it out, it goes from my "personal1" account and not my "business1" account and any replies come into "persoanl1". Same thing happens if I start by selecting the "personal2" or "personal3" accounts first in Calendar view. It always sets "personal1" as the organizer.

I can not figure out why Thunderbird is automatically using "personal1" as a default and sending from there. I am adding a screen shot to show what it looks like after adding an invitee.

Tips for improving the calendar function of Thunderbird I use Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bits) on Windows 11.

1) In a weekly overview, I do NOT see a date for each day. I would

  really like that. Then I wouldn't have to count and calculate.
 The best place would be just next to the day so e.g. "saturday 12-5"
  p.s. keep in mind that according to the country there are different form
 in Europe 12-5 means the 12th of may, i understood in America it is different.
  or 12 + the first 3 letters of the month would also be fine "zaterdag 12 mei"

2) It is said that the travel time that I enter in my iPhone,

  for an appointment is also saved in iCloud.
  Unfortunately, I cannot see or create this in the Thunderbird 
  calendar.
  It would be nice if this were possible in a future version of 
  Thunderbird.

We have bought a new computer from our tech guy before. This time, all was fine except for the Thunderbid calendar. The 20 GB of email files are all there and email still works. Only the calendar is blank. Our guy admits he dislikes Mozilla and rarely deals with it. Is there any way we can find the contents of the calendar? The old computer is still here in our house, but we only have one monitor. I had birthdays, lots of birthdays setup as repeating events. I hate to lose that.

This is odd as we didn't lose anything the last time we bought a new computer from same guy. We already were running Windows 11, so that is not the issue.

I'm trying to list future events in the T-bird Calendar without including my numerous daily reminders (mostly when I'm supposed to take my meds). Is there a way to suppress their inclusion? Or is there a way to enter daily events as a separate class that won't show up in the standard future events list? Thank you.

I have been using ThunderBird on Linux Mint for some time now. I am using Outlook.com for emails, calendar and contacts and I sync with another laptop and mobile phone. All fine until a few days ago when I noticed calendar events were not syncing with my phone. I found one calendar event in ThunderBird had an error when I manually synced with TbSync. The error report did not say anything specific. I deleted this calendar event and TbSync ran successfully uploading 2 events that it had not uploaded due to the calendar sync error. I then wanted to manually recreate this calendar event in ThunderBird. When I clicked on "New Event", the Calendar New Event pop-up window did not appear. When I minimised the ThunderBird window, the New Events was not behind it. The ThunderBird icon pinned to the panel had a "2" in the corner. When I hovered over the ThunderBird icon in the panel, it showed both the ThunderBird window and New Event window preview. When I selected the New Event preview window in the panel, it still did not become visible. All I could do with with New Event preview window in the panel was click in the 'X' to close it. I checked for Lightning Calendar Tab add-on updates. It was up to date. I check the settings. All OK. I disabled and enabled this add-on. Still not working. My Windows habits made me shutdown and restart my device. Still Not working. When I checked the other ThunderBird functions, New Event pop-up windows appeared for Emails and Contacts but not Tasks which had the same symptoms as the Calendar.

Hello I searched the help articles and was surprised I could not find anything on this. I receive different calendar entry files, in this case a .VCS calendar file, from services I use to use as a calendar entry i.e. a reservation or other. I am able to import this file and create the calendar item in Google Calendar, however if I am on Thunderbird Calendar, I have been unable to discover a way to import. Am I missing this function? What are the steps needed to import a VCS file into Thunderbird Calendar? Thanks Mozilla community! -kozy

if I type a hyperlink into the Calendar description field it does not link to the url.

The mouse pointer does not change from a cursor to a pointy hand when I hover over it

I have also tried using the 'Link' button and that creates a blue/underlined url like a traditional clickable link but the result is the same as before.

Please help troubleshoot the problem, at the moment I'm having to copy and paste every link which becomes tedious when there are lots of links

Thanks

Clark

Nach Update auf Release Kanal kein Geburtstagskalender mehr und Geburtstage werden nicht im Kalender angezeigt. Geburtstage in Kontakten vorhanden. Benutze keine Cloud und kein Google. Wie werden Geburtstage wieder im Kalender angezeigt?

Hi, my Thunderbird calendar reminders are coming up 4 hours after the meeting.

Running Kubuntu. System locale/timezone OK, TBird set to use system time (though manually making it the same didn't help). HW Clock matches system time. Pacific/Auckland.

Tried exporting all my appointments and re-importing them - no change.

Hi. Ubuntu Unity 24.04 Thunderbird 140.5

When creating a New Message, the top 5 lines are missing - i.e the “End: (U)” (end time) line is displayed at the top of the screen. The only way to enter the Title of the Event is to drag the window down. Also, the Event window CANNOT be resized. This has been happening for more than a year now. Can you help? Thanks, M...
