I use calendar with my android and use gmail and googles calander. It would help to have this integrated in Thunderbird, so I do not have multiple calendars all different and can update from anywhere.

Check whether you already have the calendar add-on (Lightning) installed. If not, get it from AMO. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/lightning/

Note, there is a version dependency between Thunderbird and Lightning.

Then also install the Provider for Google Calendar add-on. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-google-calendar/

Create the Google Calendar in Lightning. File (Alt-F) - New - Calendar Enter your Google credentials when prompted.
