Thunderbird's synchronisation with google not okay?

I am a beginner to Thunderbird so therefore I am struggling a bit with the following. Each time I open Lightning or change something in it for one of the google accounts which I have synchronised with Lightning, I get the following message: "A mistake has occurred writing the calendar to Rondte." (translated from the Dutch; ' Rondte' is the Google account with which I try to synchronise). Clicking the 'details' button in this message, I get this: "MODIFICATION FAILED".

No idea why this is happening. Can anybody say what I have been doing wrong and how to correct the mistake?

Thanks!

Are you using the provider for google calendar or caldav?

Dear Matt,

I have added the ' Provider for Google Calendar 0.25' add-on. I think that is the answer to your question?

Thanks, Gijsbert

Seems to solve the issue. (I must have done something wrong previously as I did go through this procedure.)

Thanks!
