hi all. if i create a new blank Task it automatically pre-selects today's date as the start date, and if i create a Task from an email it sets the date the email was received as the start date. i know can filter tasks lists, and hide columns, but the real issue is how it looks on the calendar; with the fixed start date, setting a due date in a month's time results in a fixed, ongoing task for a month. is there any plugin or setting that will just stop TB setting a start date that i can't change, or letting me explicitly set it myself?

Apple ID and password are saved in Thunderbird but every time I open Thunderbird it now askd for apple ID & password. Was working OK originally about 3 months ago but itn the last 2-3 weeks has started to ask for this info, If I type it in with my apple ID and the apple specific password then the calendar opens. It I say save password the next time I open Thunderbird it asks for Apple ID and password. and so on and so on.....

My iCal calendar has been connected to Thunderbird for ages and the connection has survived several updates on both ends. The Server is Nextcloud (currently 32.0.0.13). In the Today pane next to my Inbox I always have the "Tasks" view open. Creating, editing and completing tasks works as it always did. But some time ago (I don't know when exactly) all options in the "Filter Tasks" sub menu became greyed out. This used to work and I'm not aware of any change I made.

The same happened on my other system which runs Thunderbird 149.0 as the ubuntu-snap-build supplied by Ubuntu on Ubuntu 24.04.

Is there something I can do or is this a Thunderbird bug?

In version 149.0.1, the calendar layout seems to have changed so that, in the week view, the days are rows instead of columns. Is there a way to change to days being columns? The new layout really does not work for my events. I have short events that now can't be read at all because the event is too short to display any part of the event title.

On my home computer and my lap top I have Thunderbird installed. Both profiles are identical. The emails on both systems are updated by just downloading them from the provider account. My calender is normaly used on my home computer as well all appointments are saved there.

Going on longer trips away from home I would like to import all my calendar data from my home computer to my lap top. Copying the complete profile takes too much time. By just copying the calendar-data file to my lap top I do not get a working result. What do I miss?

Thanks for help Detlef

Hi,

I'm not sure how, but the default orientation of my calendar items in day or week view is stuck on horizontal. I don't remember any express change that I made, and combing through the settings and online research has not yielded a solution. I'm not sure how to switch it back, and it's pretty inconvenient!

Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi I have successfully linked my TB Calendar to Nextcloud. However, Tasks are not syncing.

When I go to create a task in the shared calendar TB advises: Please select a calendar that supports tasks

I understand later versions of TB now handle CAL and CARD Dav better.

Some have suggested using TBSync addon, however that appears to only support account creation for Google and MS calendars, but not Nextcloud.

Is there a setting in TB or NextCloud I am missing, or an addon ???

Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks

Hi, am not finding anything helpful in the support area, so hoping someone can help me solve. When a calendar reminder pops up, and I try to snooze or dismiss, I get this message:

Status Code: 2,147,500,037, null

Server Replied with 400 If you’re seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view.

Thing is, I do want to add and edit events, so I have no other options and the reminder keeps popping up every couple of minutes it seems. Any help resolving is appreciated. Thx!

Using TB 147.0.2 on Windows 11. Installation went very smoothly, including importing all my IMAP, Gmail, and iCloud accounts. Kudos!

However, my iCloud account has four calendars (personal, shared, travel, work) and TB only sees two of the four. I can't pinpoint any reason why. There's nothing special about the two it sees or the two it doesn't, as far as I can tell.

Any hints? Suggestions? Ridicule?

Hi,

I configured my account using the server's IMAP service. Every time I open Thunderbird, it asks me for the password of the calendar service of that IMAP service. But it doesn't have a calendar service. Even if it has, I don't want to use it.

I looked everywhere in the settings page, but could not find a way to disable it.

Why the app keeps asking me for the calendar service's password and how to disable it?

Thanks.

I have the Thunderbird desktop installed on windows 10 computers that are blocked from any internet browsing. I am not able to find instructions on how to share calendars between computers.

I am able to export and import calendars between computers, but the events only show up in the side bar as tasks. We want to be able to edit the shared calendar from any computer.

Rookie move. I deleted a calendar (not realizing that by deleting the calendar, which I didn't use, I was deleting all of my tasks).

Is there a way to restore the calendar?

Hello, I have a problem.

Before an emergency move, I transferred my calendar data from my Windows 11 PC to my laptop (Windows 10). The calendars worked perfectly there; entries were added, etc. Since yesterday, after eight months, I've access to my Windows 11 PC again and am trying to transfer the calendar. It's not working.

Two of my calendar files imported, but my large company calendar file (3200kB) won't.

I now know it's too large, so I tried manually splitting it (using Notepad). Part 1 (500kB) imports, but Part 2 (488kB) doesn't. I also tried using Google Calendar, same problem. However, this calendar file works perfectly on the laptop.

What can I do? It contains data for eight months plus future dates.

Updated to 148.0 this morning and now none of my google calendars are population the calendar. I am clueless as to why. Tried deleting them and re-adding them in - Not working. If this can't be fixed I am done with Thunderbird. Kind of sick of everything breaking with updates with no warnings.

Hi,

since MS has updated Win11 lately, my Outlook became a disaster. Therefore, I installed Thunderbird to become my new app for e-mails, calendar etc.. Unfortunately I can't find a way to import my Outlook tasks to Thunderbird. Is there a brief information or could someone give me any support in this matter? That would be very kind.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards ka

I'd like to receive Thunderbird's calendar alerts once and only once; if I'm not at my computer I don't want to keep hearing them over and over every 10 (?) minutes until manually dismissed. I haven't been able to find any setting (including in about:config) that turns on/off the repeat or sets the timeout between repeat alerts. Is it hardcoded? Or is there somewhere it can be changed? Thanks!

I have been having a problem with calendar reminders popping up and not being able to "snooze" them.....I can select minutes/days/weeks etc but I am not able to click the check mark....all I can do is close the window so the reminder comes back in minutes.

This was an issue for a while and then one day it was magically working.....for a month or three ---then today it stopped working again. I am assuming due to an update.

Side note -- I wish we could choose to NOT update EVERY PIECE OF SOFTWARE -- if its working leave it alone....but I digress.

Any help on this issue would be appreciated.
