Thunderbird Calendar Entry/Item Import (eg. VCS file)
Hello I searched the help articles and was surprised I could not find anything on this. I receive different calendar entry files, in this case a .VCS calendar file, from services I use to use as a calendar entry i.e. a reservation or other. I am able to import this file and create the calendar item in Google Calendar, however if I am on Thunderbird Calendar, I have been unable to discover a way to import. Am I missing this function? What are the steps needed to import a VCS file into Thunderbird Calendar? Thanks Mozilla community! -kozy

Open a Calendar tab. Press Alt to bring up the menu bar in case it is hidden. From the menu bar: Events and Tasks - Import

A .vcs file is a legacy calendar format officially known as a vCalendar file. While it has largely been superseded by the more modern .ics (iCalendar) format, it is still used by older software and some mobile devices to exchange scheduling information. Modern versions of Thunderbird only support the .ics (iCalendar) format for importing events. The .vcs (vCalendar 1.0) format is considered obsolete, and direct support for it has been removed.
Hello @christ1, thanks for the response. OK, so given that, and that I also do also receive .ics format files, am I able to import .ics event files via Thunderbird? Is there a process / mechanism available to do that? Many thanks

geeeeezuz, the menu was hidden, my bad (Ima newb, just starting to use Thunderbird) ... thanks christ1, much appreciated 🤜🏼
By the way, I find there are a number of on-line VCS to ICS converters. I can't speak to how secure or accurate the conversions are, but they're out there.
