I have all the symptoms of: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/calendar-updates-issues-thunderbird

However I've gone through the process of removing the value from the config registry, and uninstalling lightning 4 times and it all comes back after a restart.

I installed an entirely new profile and it does the same thing.

I sometimes get into a problem where lightning and google calendar are both there (though I suspect that lightning shouldn't be) and the UI is unresponsive and it eats memory until my desktop crashes. (which is a LOT of memory, I have 32gb)

I really need google calendaring in thunderbird. I would "like" not to have to start over with a new profile.

I got into this by installing a new Opensuse 15 desktop and copying my profile from my backed up Opensuse 42.3 system. Paths are all the same and this has always worked before.

I'll be happy to perform whatever experiments you like... wcn

Presumably you're using the Thunderbird version provided by your distribution. Does this also happen with the vanilla Thunderbird from https://www.thunderbird.net/ ?

Note, Lightning is bundled with the vanilla version of Thunderbird. So remove any distribution provided Lightning rpms from your installation before trying.

I removed the vendor package and installed the tar bundle from mozilla. Got the same behavior. I then installed thunderbird 52.9 using my package manager (zypper in this case) and got the same behavior. I then moved my mail from .thunderbird to a backup folder and restarted thunderbird, uninstalled lightning, and reinstalled the correct version, and installed the google calendar. I set my calendars up first and that seemed to work. (but I had to acknowledge about a hundred popups). There is no memory leak so far. I added my pop account (which basically loses all my archived email cause its in the backup folder), and that worked. I then added my two google based IMAP accounts, one for work and my personal one. That worked.

So now I have a working email setup with calendaring. I'm just going to stay at this version of t-bird for now and test new releases as they come along on a vm till one works. I am already doing 60 hr weeks and just don't have time to chase this.

I don't think we can mark this as "solved" but I have a workaround.

Thanks for your suggestion :)

Please one calendar add-on at a time. especially if both are trying to access a google calendar. Nothing like contention to find memory bugs and timing problems.
