Hi,

I have used Thunderbird for some years and it works well for me. I don't do anything fancy, just mail, calendar and tasks as a stand-alone user.

I'm migrating to a new pc. - I downloaded and installed Thunderbird. - I did not create any email accounts at this point. - I copied my profile from my old pc as per Mozilla support guidance. - Open Thunderbird - Now I can see my mail, folders and layouts perfectly.

But I cannot see anything at all to do with Events and Tasks. - Tools-Addons says Lightning is installed. - No 'Events and Tasks' in menu bar - No 'Calender' tab in Tools-Addon options-Lightning - No 'Events and Tasks' panel

From 'Events and Tasks' tab on old pc I have exported calendar (Home.ics) ready to import to new pc but I can see no option to import this.

I'm sure I must have done something wrong. I would be most grateful for any advice. I am not a tecchie; I am but a basic user.

thanks john

Ahah, I seem to be sorted! Ahead of investigating the articles you pointed me to, I 'disabled' Lightning, restarted, 'enabled', restarted and, lo, my calendar and tasks are there! A version of the old 'switch off, switch on' routine.

Thank you to Chris and sfhowes for your help.

Hi John, It sounds like the Lightning add-on is disabled. If you cannot enable it in the Add-ons Manager, could you try the solutions in the following article, and see if any of them help: Calendar updates issues with Thunderbird.

Hi Chris,

In Add-ons Manager, the options for Lightning are 'Disable' and 'Remove', which suggests to me that it is enabled.
