How to disable calendar?

Hi,

I configured my account using the server's IMAP service. Every time I open Thunderbird, it asks me for the password of the calendar service of that IMAP service. But it doesn't have a calendar service. Even if it has, I don't want to use it.

I looked everywhere in the settings page, but could not find a way to disable it.

Why the app keeps asking me for the calendar service's password and how to disable it?


Thanks.

Go to the calendar tab (alt+3) identify the calendar in the list on the left (it might have only one entry) right click it and select unsubscribe from the menu.

I don't even know where's that Home calendar come from. Sorry, I don't use the calendar feature in the app at all.

I think a screen capture the request is needed here. You have no calendar that would prompt an authentication request.

The popup screenshot.

Usually, after I dismissed it, it won't appear again even I keep Thunderbird running for a long time.

https://pasteboard.co/TyhfKqKQVxc0.png That is a contacts request based on the server name so it is an address book that is seeking authentication.

oh...sorry. The address book. Any idea how to stop it from trying to sync or authenticate?

Looked everywhere but could not find a place to configure the address book.
