Hello. I regularly sign up for online conferences, then when I get the confirmation email with the details I can't transfer it to the calendar. I even tried saving the ical event separately but when I try opening it using Thunderbird I get an error message. The only way I found is to transfer the contents manually and create an event on calendar, which is time consuming. Anyone knows how to fix this? Thank you in advance

I have 3 different email accounts. My calendar was associated with the main account. Now for some reason it is associated with the second account. It is also not showing on the day/date calendar area, but does show on the event area of the calendar. It is associated with the second of my accounts, not the first.

Any ideas?

Not sure where to post a feature request, but I use a scheduling app (Playtime Scheduler) that consistently offers ics files with an empty LAST-MODIFIED field. So I have to manually edit the ics file every time before it can import into my calendar.

Would it be hard to make Thunderbird ignore an empty field like that and import anyway?

I have this issue with my reminders for peoples' birthdays. I have an event on their birthday that comes from my Google contacts. That event has a reminder 1 week in advance. When the 1-week mark hits, I get an undismissable notification from Thunderbird. I can close the reminder window, but it'll show back up within a minute or two. I've tried removing and re-adding this calendar but it doesn't matter. When I look at the details for the event, I see that the Organizer field is Unknown Organizer <unknownorganizer@calendar.google.com>. My regular email address is listed as an attendee. This has been happening for at least the last several months, perhaps more than a year.

Shortening the file name of a .ics event allows it to successfully import in Thunderbird in Events and Tasks. Has this been addressed as a bug that could be worked on?

I have noticed that when a .ics file is not able to be manually imported into Thunderbird via the Events and Tasks there is a way to get it to import. Simply edit the filename of the .ics file to something very short (like less than 8 characters). I'm not sure why longer and more complex .ics filenames fail but shortening the filename almost always works.

Thunderbird/Lightning Calendar on Desktop - problem displaying monthly repeating events

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!

How do I import *.ICS file in a reasonable amount of time. I have appointments in an ics file of less than 1 K in size, typically 700 - 800 bytes in size and they take HOURS to import and do not connect properly then to allow editing the appointment. This is from Baylor Scott and White, a major hospital system in Texas. If there is a problem with the imported file structure, please point me to the correct file structure. I like Thunderbird, but this part of the calendar is very frustrating. Clarence

Hey, I'd like to switch from Outlook to Thunderbird. I’ve already tried switching to Thunderbird once when I switched to Linux, but—now to my question: The most important feature for me is being able to use different colors in the calendar to mark appointments. I wasn’t able to get this to work on Linux, even with AI. Isn’t this option available? But if people are switching away from Outlook, surely a small feature like this shouldn’t be a problem?

Can anyone help me with this?

After upgrading from Mint 21.3 to 22.3, Thunderbird no longer offers me the option of setting email alerts for events. Details: - I have Provider for Google Calendar installed - I've tried adding my calendar as "Google calendar" and "On the network" but neither offers email alerts. (On the network works better for responding to invitations.) My current work-around is to go to the google calendar app on my phone and set an email alert after creating the event in Thunderbird. That works but is a pain. This worked before. I suspect it's more a configuration issue and less a Mint version issue.

A large list of participants will extend the content of the "Edit Event" window beyond the threshold of the window, making all checkboxes (Notify attendees, etc.) and part of the list inaccessible.

This will also affect the Description and Attachments tabs.

With a lot of moving and resizing, the window can be resized to show everything, but then it extends far beyond the size of the screen. This is impractical.

The list of participants should never exceed the confines of the window and should be scrollable.

My old Win 11 laptop died. So, since I had an SDD adapter, I removed SDD drive from the old laptop and connected it to my new laptop.

- I had already set Thunderbird on the new laptop so I have an existing profile. - I was able, using the Import tool, to get my address book successfully transferred from the old profile. - And while the old calendar name appears in calendar pane, I don't see any of my appointments. - I tried create placeholder calendar, then deleting all the other calendars and retried but still no luck.

I don't want to just copy and paste all the contents from old profile into the new profile as I don't need my old emails or email account data. So, what should I do? Thanks for any help in advance
