Please Someone help ?

I have followed all the suggestions I can find, but my Thunderbird Calendar will not sync with the Outlook Calendar on Windows 11. I am using TB Sync, but every time I try to add my Outlook Calendar ? It refuses to accept my Password, even though it is correct, and the User name and email are too ! It shows as error code 401, and cannot authenticate ?

I have tried a suggestion to create an 'App Password' to use in my Microsoft account, but the options described do not exist in my account !

Can anyone please help ?

I am using the Provider for Google Calendar addon, but have always had the problem that when I flag an item on a Google Task list as Completed then synchronise with Thunderbird, the completion flag stays unchanged in Thunderbird unless I've also done an edit to the task text, or unsubscribed/resubscribed the whole calendar. I was hoping that when Google Tasks got combined/integrated with calendar Reminders a few weeks ago, it might have meant I could uninstall the addon and use Tasks with native Thunderbird CalDAV, but that doesn't seem to be the case. By which I mean, if I uninstall the Provider and try to subscribe in Thunderbird, only my calendars are visible for selection, not my task lists.

Is there a way of exposing the task lists to Thunderbird other than with the Provider, so I can try a way which will sync correctly?

I'm using an old, no longer supported add-on called Reminderfox that saves its contents in ics format. I used to be able to import this to Google calendar and Thunderbird but for some reason they and also Microsoft Outlook won't now import the ics file. They either give an error as in Thunderbird's case (error, no items to import) or just remain greyed out so I can't do anything else as in Google and Microsoft's case. I have submitted the ics file to an ics verifier online and it says there are no errors. I have also looked at the file in notepad and can't see any obvious errors, although I'm not fully conversant with the ics format. Can anyone suggest what the problem might be or anything else I can try please?

Hello everyone,

First of all I would like to say that I love Thunderbird! I am also not very IT literate when it comes to manipulating software or using the correct language so please bear with me, I find these a bit overwhelming.

I was hoping someone could help me with with my calendar, I have tried to change settings on other software and it went terribly wrong and I don't want a repeat. I have read the various help files but it doesn't make much sense to me :(

I have a domain with Dynadot for my website and email, it's basic but does the job for my small business. It has IMAP abilities and an autoreply but that's about it- there's no calendar app but does have an email app... just. On my Windows laptop I use Thunderbird for all emails and calendar requirements which is great when I'm using my laptop. However, I do meet with participants and don't always use my laptop so I need a way to be able to view and book appointments using my andriod phone.

I also have a member of staff who needs access to my calendar and be able to book appointments for me and vice versa. As we are both out and about a lot the calendars need to be "live" and easy to reach, much like the paid for Outlook shared calendar.

At the moment my member of staff doesn't use Thunderbird as their main software, they have Outlook. We did try another email/calendar app but their shared calendars were just links that we had to save and keep logging into, it was a nightmare and without the updating we had some double-bookings. I don't want to go through that again, it was embarassing.

I would greatly appreiciate your wisdom in how I can resolve my issue and easy step by step guidance on how to do it properly. I am the type of person who will get locked out of everything!

Best wishes Rebecca

I have a Google Calendar, in which I manage My Tasks. I can't see my existing tasks in Thunderbird, and I can't add new tasks to the Google Calendar. New Task in Thunderbird is greyed out and the field next to it has the writing: "Please select a calendar that supports tasks".

I have seen that many had the same issue and understood that it is linked to how My Tasks in Google Calendar itself works. Is there really no workaround whatsoever?

If not, how can I manage tasks and share them with someone else (who uses Google Calendar or Apple Calendar, but does not use Thunderbird)?

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Hi!

I recently added my caldav calendar to thunderbird and noticed that the event times are off by an hour. Going into Settings -> Calendar, there's a drop down for timezone, the selected one is UTC+1 whereas I'm on UTC+0 and I can't seem to set it to plain GMT/UTC (I can select that timezone on single events though), and there does not seem to be a single country or region in that timezone list that's on UTC+0 with no DST.

Is there some way to set the calendar time zone to UTC+0?

I FOUND no close TOPIC.

Google calendar allows color-coding of events - but the display is highly inadequate. T-bird 128 calendar apparently HAS no option to color events. But events are FAR easier to see WHEN color-highlighted. Would this be a difficult option??

I am using Thunderbird Supernova and am pretty happy with it. However, I cannot figure out how to specify a different time zone than the system timezone when creating an event. For example, if I just bought a flight that departs at 4PM London time and I am in Miami when creating the event, how can I create this event without having to convert that time to my current time?

Surely this is possible but I can't figure out how. Thanks for any help!

My Thunderbird profile is on a separate drive.

I had to reformat my computer. No problem with managing profile and all emails and folders, etc are ok. However, my calendar is blank!

Is the calendar not stored in your profile? Have I really lost all my dates and appointments?

Attempting to add birthdates to Thunderbird calendar. Have initialized 'Lightning' and 'Provider for Google' addons. Existing calendars appear to be synced. That is, I can add events in Thunderbird, and they are visible in my Google calendar (and visa versa). Wish to add a new calendar for birthdates using the 'Birthday Calendar' addon. 'Birthday Calendar' displays birthdates pulled from 'Address Book', and has the added desirable feature of calculating/including 'age'. Thunderbird appears to be correctly retrieving birthdates from 'Address Book'. However, these new birthdate calendar entries do not seem to be reflected in my Google calendar. I do not see an option (in Google) to add this calendar. Can someone guide me through the process of connecting this new 'Birthday Calendar' with Google?

Like the subject says 'updated from 115 to 128.1.1esr and now (icloud) calendars wont sync'

I understand tb doesnt need tbsync anymore, do i remove these? When i try and enable the calendar function, a 'authentication required' windows opens up with username and password. But fails when the correct information is entered. I read where you can go to google, which i did, and get the required information, but that fails also.

How can I sync the new 128.1.1esr with my icloud calendars?

Thanks!

I'm getting duplicates of calendar items using the Provider for Google Calendar whenever I enter an event in Thunderbird. This doesn't happen when the events are posted elsewhere, on a Google Calendar. When I'm about to enter a new event, I can see a line labeled "Calendar" that gives me 3 choices ... 2 of them are the same, like xxxxx@gmail.com and the other is GMAIL. I have 2 gmail accounts sharing on three devices ... my laptop, my phone and my wife's iPad. Once I've finished and closed the event, I wait a bit and I get the duplicated item beside it. When I right-click on an event that I've put into Thunderbird, I see a line that says "Organizer:" with my gmail address. I don't see anything like that when clicking on a duplicate that has popped up. There is also a Related Link ... https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/event?eid=X2M5ajYyZTluNnRpajBiOWo2OWg2YWI5a2NkaGphYmIyYzhzNjRiOW02cGozaW9wcGNkaW04b2hnY2tfMjAyNDAxMTFUMTgzMDAwWiBnaGNoYXJ0ZXJzQG0 ... but it comes up as "requested URL not found on this server". I hope I've provided enough information here to get this situation resolved. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Gil

I just today (6/27/2023) downloaded and Installed Thunderbird on my Mac (latest OS installed).

I was able to successfully configure my Google account email and my company's Outlook/Exchange email just fine and I'm getting messages on both.

However, I do not see ANY calendar events whatsoever...not Apple (local) or Outlook.

I seem to be able to create an event on the calendar that's showing, but I'm getting nothing from Apple or Outlook.

I'm not so worried about local or Apple events, but I DO want to see my company's events that are on the Outlook Catalog.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

I want to, because snoozing and dismissal appear to modify the tasks / calendar entries on the server rather than locally, and I don't trust that Thunderbird shall not modify them incorrectly.

Hi all Thunderbird enthousiast :)

In version 102, using the Lightning Calendar, when creating or editing a calendar event, how do I automatically send an email reminder(s) before the event start?

I tried. But Lightning "Set up Reminders" window offers only the "Show an alert" option. The number 6 in this screenshot shows the location of this challenge at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-50-55-b4905f.png

What I need is, still in this screenshot above, 1 hour before this event starts, Lightning to automatically send an email message reminder to a preset email address(es).

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Below is the same question as above. But with details if you're interested in those.

Steps to reproduce this challenge:

1. Using Thunderbird Lightning, click on the "Event" button to create a new Calendar event

2. The "New Event" window will open

3. Using this "New Event" window above, using its "Reminder" field, select the "Custom..." option. The numbers 1 et 2 in this screenshot show this at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-49-18-5d2120.png

5. The "Set up Reminders" window will open

6. Using this "Set up Reminders" window above, open the "Choose a Reminder Action" menu. Lightning offers only the "Show an alert" option. This screenshot shows the location of this challenge at https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/images/2023-08-07-12-50-55-b4905f.png

7. My question is this, 1 hour before this event starts, how to configure Lightning to automatically send an email message reminder(s) to a preset email address(es)?

Suggestion:

• If somehow Thunderbird version 102 is not yet able to send an email alert, then this is a suggestion for a new future. I'll try to create a new suggestion at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/idb-p/ideas Then I'll try to add the link here. • I recall that in a previous version of Thunderbird Lightning, its "Set up Reminders" window offered multiples options to choose from. Including "Show an alert" or "Send an email message". Could part of the previous Thunderbird code be recycled for Thunderbird 102? • If needed, both me and the Ubertus.org team would be happy to contribute beta testing and documentation for this new feature. Any volunteer for a patch?

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

What I tried that did not work:

• Clicked on the "Choose a Reminder Action" drop down menu. Only one option is available. It reads "Display alert". • Double-checked that the calendar is a Network Calendar (CalDAV) • Double-checked that the calendar "Properties" as an email address associated to it • Added my email address to the list of Attendees. This does send email notifications. But only on Event creation or event changes. This is not what I need. What I need is, for exemple, 1 hour before an event start, send an email message to be automatically sent to a set email address(es). Assuming that during this period I leave my Thunderbird both open and connected. • Searched for add-on about email alert at https://addons.thunderbird.net/fr/thunderbird/extensions/ I found none able to send email alert before an event start.

Synonyms of calendar event email reminder:

• email alert • alarm mailing • reminder action • send email reminder • thunderbird notification by email message

For years I have used the extension 'Calendar Tweaks' because it colorizes the entire event in the calendar. This extension is no longer compatible with versions of Thunderbird after 74 so I have stop updation after Version 69. However in resolving problems with authorization I needed to update to the current Version of Thunderbird so my events in the calendar now just show the category color at the edge of the box instead of the entire box. Is there a way in Thunderbird to colorize the entire event box or another extension that does this.

I added the United States Holiday Calendar to my Thunderbird Calendar.

As it has zilliions more holidays than I care to see (World Pneumonia Day, for example) I would like to remove it. I added it as an internet supplied calendar, not stored on my computer.

Can someone please tell me how to remove it entirely? Also, is there a different, more modest calendar I might add somewhere out there?

Thanks in advance for the assistance. I have searched for a way to do this but have not found anything.

I have added my own categories in the Thunderbird Calendar New Event window, but I am unable to edit or delete either default or added categories in the list. How do I edit this list? NOTE: this is different than mail categories.

I updated to the new Thunderbird 115. I imported my folders etc with no issue with only 1 little problem - my local folders are in between my 2 email accounts and I can't seem to move it down but not a big deal.

The real problem is my calendar events. I had a very full calendar and after the update, my calendar is empty and blank. I have no idea what to do. Everything else imported fine. The calendar is the only calendar I use. Hope someone can help.

Thank you Norma
