I'm using thunderbird 115.10.1 on Ubuntu Linux. I've set up a second calendar and associated it with an email account hosted by Polaris Mail. That email address has worked fine within thunderbird for everything else for a long time, but I only recently associated it with a calendar. When I get a meeting invite, for example from a gmail user, and accept that invite, selecting "send a response now", no message ever arrives at the email of the inviter and no email ends up in any of my folders (drafts or sent). It is like nothing happens. The event *is* accepted and added to the calendar, but no respose is created or sent. I have another email account and calendar and meeting acceptances and responses seem to work fine.

I've looked at all the settings I can find and they seem appropriate and analogous to those with the working email/calendar. The correct email address appears in the calendar properties opened by right-clicking on the Calendar and selecting properties.

Any help? Thanks.

I am using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Windows 10 and have set up about 36 different calendars. To tidy up a bit, I would like to hide all calendars AT ONCE and in the next step show each (separate) calendar INDIVIDUALLY. ONLY: HOW do I hide all calendars at once? Possibly accessible via extensions / add-ons? Which extensions would be recommended? Thanks for all your help.

After an update to Thunderbird around 8/10/24, I can still list future calendar events, but no longer past events. It is very useful for me to list past events. For example, I can quickly find out when I last had a flu shot. Could you restore this ability to print a complete list of past events, as well as future events? Thanks! Carl Lund

Hello Is it possible and how to search the calendar for all events, even those that have passed. Currently I can search only: today's, events that will occur in 7, 14, 31 days, 6 and 12 months, this month, this day or visible. Sometimes I need to find an event that has already passed 2-3 months ago and the quick search does not find it. Your Outlook competitor searches in all events without any problem. Is it possible to search in all or maybe there is a plug-in?

The same thing happened to my income tax software - a major change without notice before OR after, and it threw off a multitude of users at the beginning of las tax season.

Thanks for an otherwise great product over the years!

Lightning had the ability to search the entire calendar for an event, sadly, this new iteration of the calendar built into Thunderbird 128.0.1esr doesn't support anything but today or later events.

Most of the time I use the calendar to search for a previous event (when I was previously somewhere). This is very important and an oversight on the part of who thought the search from now until the end of time was all anyone would need.

Can the functionality be returned to search every event and not just from today onward?

Recent Thunderbird auto-update to 128.1.1esr (64 bit). Now unable to search past events in Calendar. Find Events now relates only to current or future events. Previous to update I had the option to search 'All' which meant I could easily locate previous entries in Calendar, which I use as a diary and aide memoire. Settings provide no solution. Am I able to revert to a previous version kitted out with the 'All' option, perhaps? Please help. Diolch yn fawr i chi.

For years I have used the extension 'Calendar Tweaks' because it colorizes the entire event in the calendar. This extension is no longer compatible with versions of Thunderbird after 74 so I have stop updation after Version 69. However in resolving problems with authorization I needed to update to the current Version of Thunderbird so my events in the calendar now just show the category color at the edge of the box instead of the entire box. Is there a way in Thunderbird to colorize the entire event box or another extension that does this.

Greetings.

I am using Thunderbird 125.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 10 PC (Windows 10 Home Version 22H2).

Within its Calendar interface, the Find Events function has no option to search all events, as shown in the attached screen shot.

Although I do not use this "Search All" functionality frequently, I do consider it essential.

Unfortunately, I am uncertain when it became unavailable. However, I suspect it was sometime within the past several months.

Thank you in advance for any clarification you may provide pertaining to this issue.

Hi Everyone!

I am currently on Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit) and for a few days now, I can't open the calendar tab. The "Today Pane" is working and showing events though.

When going to "View" the items "Calendar" and "Tasks" are greyed out though.

Any idea on how to get the calendar back? The company will move us all to Exchange and Outlook soon, so I thought I might "survive", but it is pretty impractical have to open my calendars separately in the browser. You only notice how often you use something, when you don't have it. ;-)

When I try to import an .ics calendar event by dragging and dropping it onto the events pane then nothing happens. When I double click on the .ics file to import it, then I get the message: "There are no importable items in this file.", but there is an appointment in the file.

In the error console ( Tools > Developer tools > Error console (<CTRL>+<SHIFT>+J) ) I see the following error appearing: "Calendar: ParserError: invalid line (no token ";" or ":") "</body></html>"'ParserError: invalid line (no token ";" or ":") "</body></html>"' when calling method: [calIICSService::parseICS] when parsing"

The parser fails on the following line in the .ics file containing the event: X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Who knows what is syntactically wrong with that line? Is there an on-line parser where I can check the correctness of the .ics file for Thunderbird?

Like the subject says 'updated from 115 to 128.1.1esr and now (icloud) calendars wont sync'

I understand tb doesnt need tbsync anymore, do i remove these? When i try and enable the calendar function, a 'authentication required' windows opens up with username and password. But fails when the correct information is entered. I read where you can go to google, which i did, and get the required information, but that fails also.

How can I sync the new 128.1.1esr with my icloud calendars?

Thanks!

Import Profile Failed. Any tools to extract calendar data from profile?

I wish they had a) kept the ability to look at prior events in the most recent version of Thunderbird b) kept the option to export calendar as csv file.

But here we are. Is there any sort of stand-alone utility or any other way for me to get at my calendar data?

I installed an older version of Thunderbird, which has no problem with the rest of the profile, but chokes on the calendar.
