When I add a calendar event, it defaults to Holidays in US. How do I change this to the calendar associated with my email address? I often forget to change the desired calendar. Also, How do I edit the Holidays calendar? Thanks BigSam

I'm on Thunderbird 151.0.1 (64-bit).

NB: I have been using app specific passwords for all steps with this.

I previously had nine icloud calendars - my own and those shared with me - synced into Thunderbird. Not all had events in them. Then all the events stopped syncing.

I unsubscribed all the calendars and tried to re-add them with the calendar specific URLs. Initially none of them would re-add.

Got a new app specific password.

Followed online tutorials to try using general login to https://icloud.com and https://webcal.icloud.com. Calendars detected, but would not add into Thunderbird.

Then back to calendar specific URLs, and the calendars are adding, but none of the events.

I've tried adding the calendar feeds to Outlook, which works, so I'm pretty positive it's a Thunderbird problem rather than an Apple problem. If it can't be resolved, I'll have to move onto Outlook, but it's a bad time to do that as I want to resolve some Thunderbird email chain dependent projects first.

Any help very gratefully received.

I have 4 gmail accounts in Thunderbird. The calendar shows items from all 4 accounts. My issue comes when setting up an invitation. Pretend my accounts are:

personal1@gmail.com personal2@gmail.com personal3@gmail.com business1@gmail.com

If I want to set up a meeting with invitations from business1@gmail.com, I select the account from the left side of the calendar list, then I create a new event on the day I want. The dialogue box correctly shows "business1@gmail.com in the Calendar drop down box at the top. I can then fill in title, location, category, time etc. But when I click on Invite Attendees, thunderbird has already added "personal1@gmail.com" as the first attendee and is waiting for me to enter the contact of the second attendee. If I add people and send it out, it goes from my "personal1" account and not my "business1" account and any replies come into "persoanl1". Same thing happens if I start by selecting the "personal2" or "personal3" accounts first in Calendar view. It always sets "personal1" as the organizer.

I can not figure out why Thunderbird is automatically using "personal1" as a default and sending from there. I am adding a screen shot to show what it looks like after adding an invitee.

Tip for improving the calendar function of Thunderbird. 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.

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.
