When I enter an event on Thunderbird, it is immediately reflected on my online Google Calendar. However, when I enter the event on google calendar website, it does not automatically appear on my Thunderbird Google Calendar. Don't understand this. The only add-on I have on Thunderbird is the 'Provider for Google Calendar' (to allow bidirectional access to google calendar). I don't see any settings to fix this. Help! Note: It updates when I press 'synchronize' on Thunderbird, but I don't want to have to remember to do that. Should be automatic!!

When I enter a new event in my Google Calendar and click the 'Synchronize' button in Thunderbird, Thunderbird does NOT synchronize. The ONLY way I have found to add the new event to Thunderbird is to Unsubscribe and then re-subscribe the Google Calendar. Most annoying!
