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

Apologies if this has been discussed before here, but in Thunderbird 128.1.0esr (64-bit) the All Events option is missing for calendar searches, which means it is no longer possible to search past events, see screenshot.

Hopefully the All Events option will be reintroduced soon?

Thank you.

I use to be able to put in a seach term and search all events (prior, current and future). Now I am forced to choose only current and future events. Why the change? Can I change Setting to allow for searching all events again?

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?

So, when can we expect a fix to the search parameters on Calendar? I use this feature ALL THE TIME, and am shocked that no one asked us whether to delete it.

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. ;-)

I FOUND no close TOPIC.

Google calendar allows color-coding of events - but the display is highly inadequate. T-bird 128 calendar apparently HAS no option to color events. But events are FAR easier to see WHEN color-highlighted. Would this be a difficult option??

Hi,

The uploaded image shows the problem. When I first open Tbird and the Reminder popup opens, all reminders look normal - black text on a white background. As soon as I do anything, in Tbird or another application, the top reminder gets a very dark blue background, making it unreadable.

This has been going on since the release before 128 (124?). I waited until the next release in case it was just 124. Clearly, it isn't. I have opened Tbird in Troubleshoot mode but the issue remains.

The only possibility I can think of is that I have too many emails. That's a very long, unrealistic guess so any others would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, sivarik

Till TB128 is fixed in a newer update, you can download the following extension from

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?

The problem appears in the following version: TB version: 115.13.0 (64-bit) Platform version: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS, Linux 5.15.0-119-generic #129-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 2 19:25:20 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux VCALENDAR version in .ics: VERSION:2.0

As of 2024-8-29, my calendar had a number of entries.

When I logged back in this morning 2024-8-30, all entries were missing.

Before shutting down for the day I usually do a partial back up of files. Could someone provide the path and file name for calendar events?

Thanks

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!

When I create a new event I have to watch as the calendar it wants to save to in "Contacts" not my Google calendar. I have to select my Google calendar. Contacts calendar does not show up when I create a new event directly in Google calendar. I can turn off the Contacts calendar but I like that is shows my contacts birthdays. Is there a way to make my Google calendar default?
