Tips for improving the calendar function of Thunderbird I use Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bits) on Windows 11.

1) In a weekly overview, I do NOT see a date for each day. I would

  really like that. Then I wouldn't have to count and calculate.
 The best place would be just next to the day so e.g. "saturday 12-5"
  p.s. keep in mind that according to the country there are different form
 in Europe 12-5 means the 12th of may, i understood in America it is different.
  or 12 + the first 3 letters of the month would also be fine "zaterdag 12 mei"

2) It is said that the travel time that I enter in my iPhone,

  for an appointment is also saved in iCloud.
  Unfortunately, I cannot see or create this in the Thunderbird 
  calendar.
  It would be nice if this were possible in a future version of 
  Thunderbird.

Hi there,

I'm having an issue where I receive invitations by the owner of a calendar i subscribed to. I have to subscribe to the calendar to be able to schedule events with them.

When I receive the invite, it keeps saying "already processed" which is not the case. I dont have that event in my calendar and it has not been accepted.

I have checked that the subscribed calendar is not linked to my account (calendar settings, email account: empty) and the actual calendar is linked to my email account (calendar settings, my email account).

what should happen logically is the "subscribed" calendar should not be counted as my calendar, events should not be counted as already processed and invites should be clickable and then be transfered to the calendar linked to the receiving email address.

Mind you, thunderbird on mobile works like it should. Its only the linux client that has this issue.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Just moved to a new computer and am having trouble importing my previuos TBird calendar. From my prior computer backup (created with Macrium Reflect) I have tried moving the local.sqlite backup file to the calendar-data folder in my new TBird profile. However none of my prior calendar events have loaded into my new calendar. Is there another process or file/files I should be using? Thanks in advance. Rob W.

We have bought a new computer from our tech guy before. This time, all was fine except for the Thunderbid calendar. The 20 GB of email files are all there and email still works. Only the calendar is blank. Our guy admits he dislikes Mozilla and rarely deals with it. Is there any way we can find the contents of the calendar? The old computer is still here in our house, but we only have one monitor. I had birthdays, lots of birthdays setup as repeating events. I hate to lose that.

This is odd as we didn't lose anything the last time we bought a new computer from same guy. We already were running Windows 11, so that is not the issue.

When I go to set a custom time for when an event's reminder will happen, it doesn't matter what date or time I put, when I click OK, it sets the date to be today, and the time to the next hour, if I use the date and time picker dropdown thing (clicking the arrow instead of typing it in), the date does set correctly, but the time is impossible to set even like that

I have been using Mozilla Thunderbird for many years on Windows desktop (now Win 11 ver 24H2 for x64 based systems).

In the last week or two Thunderbird has been giving me unwanted reminders for future events on my Google Calendar. (They are Thunderbird reminders, since they disappear when closing Thunderbird). If I try to dismiss them I get an Error Code: Modification failed. Status Code: 2,147,500,037, null Server Replied with 400

Dr google suggestions to get rid of them only apply to iOS or Android, nothing mentions windows. The problem does not occur on my iPhone.

If I just close the reminder windows they reappear in a few minutes.

I uninstalled and reloaded to be sure I had the latest Thunderbird.

I have my calendar from mailbox.org synchronized with my thunderbird via CardDav/CalDav. I have multiple calendars in the same account (e.g. work, free time, brithdays, ...). I cannot change in which calendar an event is saved after I created it.

How to reproduce: Edit an allready existing event and change its calendar (e.g. from "free time" to my "work" calendar).

Expected behaviour: The edited event is now moved to the other calendar.

Observed behaviour: The event is not moved (any other changes to the event are saved though).

It is not the fault of my provider as it works on my phone and on their web app.

This is either a bug in any of two ways:

• It does not change calendars events but it should.
• You are not supposed to be able to change the calendar afterwards and that means the selection of the calendars should be grayed out/ give you no option to save it.

(I know I can Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V it into a diffferent calendar, which I use at moment but that costs additional time.)

Thanks for any help with this :)

PS: I have to choose a topic but the calendar is not even part of that list. What is going on there?

It seems lately that when I simply open a calendar entry to see what the contents are, then close it without making any changes, it sends an update to all those involved that something changed (as seen in the picture).

Also, when I accept an invite event and tell it not to send a response, it always does. This has been happening for as long as I can remember, and I cannot figure out a way to stop it, no matter what I do.

Anyone have any ideas for either of these issues?

I'm trying to list future events in the T-bird Calendar without including my numerous daily reminders (mostly when I'm supposed to take my meds). Is there a way to suppress their inclusion? Or is there a way to enter daily events as a separate class that won't show up in the standard future events list? Thank you.

I have a professional email address and a gmail address configured correctly in thunderbird. I also have a number of google calendars configured in lightning using the built-in google calendar support (i.e., I am not using the old google calendar plugin). Until recently, when I received and accepted a calendar invitation sent to my professional email address, thunderbird would ask to which calendar I wanted to save the invite. I would select the calendar I wanted and it would be saved appropriately.

A week ago, I created a new google calendar and added it to thunderbird/lightning using the built-in google calendar support. Now, when I accept a calendar invitation, it automatically goes to the new calendar (which is generally not appropriate) without asking me to choose. Furthermore, I am unable to edit these calendar events to change the calendar they are associated with. I have checked the properties of both the new and old calendars and they look the same.

The only seeming solution I found was to make the new calendar read only and disassociate it from an email address, and then undo both those options. For the time being, this operation seems to have gotten back the option to select which calendar invites are saved to. But I would still like to know if this was the correct solution and better understand how thunderbird chooses to save event invitations.

Bisherige Ativitäten: Versuche einen Google-Geburtstagskalender Kalender zu nutzen -> nicht funktioniert Versuche einen Mozilla-Geburtstagskalender einzurichten -> nicht funktioniert

Ich vemute, dass die entsprechenen Kalender keine entsprechenden Daten finden?!

Thunderbird und die Adressdaten stammen aus der gleichen Version wurden aber von einem anderen Windowsgerät unter Windows 10 übertragen/übernommen!V

Problem with recurring events in the caldav (external) calendar. If you delete one instance of an event (today), events for previous days are automatically created.

Thunderbird ver. 140.7

For many years I have had a Thunderbird Calendar, and have a large number of Tasks set up in it. I have now decided it would be convenient to link it to my Google calendar, so that it also shows on my new Windows 11 machine and on my laptop. I've gone through the process described in the "Create new calendars" article, to link the calendars, and the Google calendar is now appearing in the Thunderbird calendar, but not vice versa. How do I get the Tasks in the Thunderbird calendar to appear in the Google calendar?

I am running Thunderbird 140.7.1esr and Firefox 147.03 on my Windows 10 machine, which I used to set up the link. My Windows 11 machine has the same Firefox build, but Thunderbird 147.0.1, and the Google calendar display is the same, but I haven't yet set up the Thunderbird calendar on the new machine.
