Thunderbird Community Forum

Hi, I found an entry in the "thunderbirdmail.de" forum from 2005, where they discuss the option of using userChrome.css for changing the number of lines in the title of an calender appointment.

My problem is, that if the text of the title is really long, thunderbird will not enlarge the title window (more lines), so I can see the whole text (as in Outlook - from where I just changed to Thunderbird a few weeks ago).

The entry into the userCrome.css (as suggested in the forum)

.calendar-color-box .event-name-label {

   white-space:  break-spaces !important;

}

is not working (even I changed the "toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets" to "true").

Can you help me with that issue?

It seems like there is only a global setting to play a sound or not for reminders. Is there a way to customize this for individual event reminders? If not, there should be.

I cannot delete this appointment reminder that was sent to me from Joe Cooper Ford when making a service appointment. Keeps popping up, over and over. I cannot edit, delete, change, there is no "read only" option as recommended below. This appointment does not show on the calendar either so I cannot right click as also recommended below. This is very annoying.

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.

Hi, I have my calendar connected to my Google calendar. It works great in both ways. I can add in Thunderbird and it show up in Google and vice versa. But one issue, when I get a meeting invitation and I accept, it always get in the "Home" calendar and not in my Google one. I have tried to sort them with my Google at top, and if I delete all other calendars it can not be saved at all. And can not find any other settings.

Any suggestions? Or is it just not possible? Maybe a function for a coming update? Or have I just missed out some obvious?

Best regards /Mike

In Thunderbird 143.0.1 (64-bit), my appointment invitations are no longer sent automatically to the respective email recipients, as they used to be. I can't find any settings where I can change this. Under ‘Troubleshooting Information’ in the line ‘Send appointment notifications via email’, the value is not set to ‘true’. I look forward to your help. Best regards, Thorsten

I have used Thunderbird to manage my google calendar on PC, windows 11, for years. It seems now that when I add an event, hit save and close, it is not saved. All the events show. I can add events on my phone, and they show up in the calendar on Thunderbird, instantly. I just can no longer add events. I can try, but when I save, they do not appear in the Thunderbird calendar, or in Google. I did just recently change my password in Google, and had to re-authenticate Thunderbird, I suspect that's the instigator of the issue. I just feel I'm missing something. One note-if I click on "add account", there is no option for calendar anymore. Maybe this is gone.

I have Thunderbird v140.3.1esr (64-bit) on Windows 10. I made a new calendar based on a google calendar. I have 2 google calendars so I am trying to import the second one from an .ics file exported from Google calendar, but each time I try it gives me an error message.

It has installed itself as a second calendar in Thunderbird, but I've no idea why I can't import the one into the other?

Hi all,

in my calendar, I have an appointment which was set when the person was in Cape Verde, and the time zone there was set to Atlantic/Cape_Verde.

Now, Thunderbird obviously doesn't know about that time zone, it's also not available in the picker (when creating a new appointment).

The appointment in this case gets shown in the calendar as starting at 13.10h, when it should be 10.10h (as I'm in Europe/Berlin).

How do I achieve that? I'm on Windows, TBird 142.0

Thx in advance, Cheers, Peter.

Hi all

I have an issue (timezone-related) that I can't pin down to either Thunderbird or Nextcloud - hoping someone here can give me an idea.

Definitions

NC = NextCloud TB = Thunderbird

Background

My calendar is hosted on NC via caldav and there is normally no issue with event scheduling when doing so from TB or vice versa from NC.

I have lately been using the appointment scheduling function in the NC web ui. You create an event and then tag a set of day/time values that a meet participant can choose for the meet.

eg. I can set the following as my available times:

Tues 2pm to 4pm Wed 11am to 3pm

Once the creation of the appointment is completed, a link is provided which you can give to meet participants who can then choose a time slot from the proposed list for the meet.

eg. someone might choose:

Wed 2.30pm-3pm

... from the list provided

Once the recipient chooses their time, the appointment is confirmed for the selected date/time and a meet request is automatically placed in your NC calendar.

Via email:

1. the meet participants receive the meet request and acknowledge/confirm it 2. you receive a standard meet confirmation email in TB from each participant 3. you receive an email (incl. an ics file) from NC stating that the meet (and its selected date/time) has been booked

I believe this solution is similar to what TB Appointment is aiming for.

Issue:

My timezone is gmt+1 but I mostly deal with participants in gmt+2. I do all the scheduling based on my timezone and the meet request that is automatically placed in my NC cal, has the correct time as per what the participant selected.

eg.

If the participant (from their viewpoint) selected 4pm gmt+2, it will show up in my NextCloud cal at 3pm gmt+1. This is correct.

TB should now sync that entry from NC - it does, but the TB cal entry shows as 5pm gmt+1 instead of 3pm gmt+1.

In addition, an ics file is included with booking confirmation email (received earlier and mentioned above) and this ics file also has the incorrect time on it as well (at least as indicated on an import into TB).

Now if TB was ref'ing a separate cal, I could understand that there might be a discrepancy between NC and TB. But this is actually the same calendar, just shared by NC to TB via caldav.

Additional:

• My NC profile timezone is set as gmt+1 in the NC web ui
• My TB timezone in Settings -> Calendar is set to "Use system timezone"
• My system timezone is set to WEST (western european summer time) = gmt+1

All of the above appear to deliver exactly the same time but there's clearly some misstep between NC, TB and my system. I'm doing additional testing to see if my local system timezone has any impact on this - will advise.

Any ideas are welcome.

Regards, Robby

Thunderbird Calendar is not automatically loading events when TB starts. I must delete & import one of my calendar's for it to load all past & future events on all my calendars? I use the .ics format.

FYI, I recently upgraded from an old version of Thunderbird to the current version. Thanks for any help.

I have a gmail calendar added to Thunderbird and the Calendar main window is populating as expected. However, the pop-up reminder window will not populate with any of those entries. What did I miss??

Cheers Mike

Currently, the latest version is 140.20esr. Since the middle of last week, there has been a phenomenon where unsolved and unprocessed appointments set in the calendar settings are no longer displayed in the next day's alerts.

I use TB as a personal home email client & calendar. All the prenamed Category labels for events are primarily oriented to business use. If there a way to rename the Categories and apply a color that I want?

I have enabled my Google calendar in Thunderbird. It seems to be displaying scheduled (as opposed to all-day) events twice in the calendar window. Why should this be?

The calendar is marked as read-only because it contains birthday's and reminders cannot be dismissed.

What is the proper way handle a anniversary calender and reminders?
