Thunderbird 102.5.1 (64-bit) Windows 11

Since a few years back my Lightning calendar lost all the color backgrounds for categories, which was a plugin that does not work anymore. The small sliver of a color bar on the right side of the event on the calendar page is not helpful to see in a glance what category is coming up in a few days. I have several job categories such as Photography, Video Recording and Audio Job. If I can color code AND SEE them at a glance when I am in the month view is a great help. I am not sure what purpose it serves to have a thin slice of color on the right side of the event! If the whole background of the event line has that color it will serve some purpose. I researched and tried all the css hacks and config edits but nothing seems to work. Is there any help that we can get? I see that others are also looking for a solution that works in the latest version. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

How do you set auto-publish of calendars via WebDav? Now it works, but you must each time click publish... Isn't there a way to make it automatic when you change something or some time period?

I have Thunderbird version 115.5.1 installed on my Windows 11 laptop. I have logged into my gmail account and subscribed to google calendar. I have turned the off default reminders for events and don't have any extensions installed, but when I create a new event and select "No Reminder," Thunderbird automatically sets a 30-minute reminder. I can modify the reminder by editing the event after saving, but I can't directly create a new event with no reminder.

Hi Team,

Can someone tell me a way for me to link my calendar from my home computer to my laptop via Thunderbird?

Reference: I use my home computer more but when I am traveling I would like to see my calender schedule mirror my home computer.

Kind regards,

Shamus

I recently upgraded (and then downgraded) to 102 release but was very disappointed to note that the release disables the very useful WebDAV and tbsync add-ons that are mission critical for me to sync my calendars from my hotmail and google accounts in and out of Thunderbird. These work great on TB 91 release and I had hoped that the new release will either provide support for various calendars (Google and Microsoft at the very least) out of the box or preserve the calendar sync support using the existing add-ons at a minimum.

Is there a way to make these calendars sync in Thunderbird 102 release? If so, please help. - Thanks a ton!

Hello first sorry if this has been posted before and I missed it.

Been looking for an alternative email client since Microsoft is changing over to their clunky web mail app in windows.

Been trying out Thunderbird (version 115) added my Outlook/Microsoft account which works fine email wise but the calendar does not show up. I can add the same account or my google account to say EM mail or mailbird and the calendar shows/syncs up s in those programs effortlessly.

Does this not work the same in Thunderbird or do I need some extra plug ins? I seen trying to share and export the ics file but I just want to sync it like any other program.

Thanks for your help

Hello,

I really would like to have the possibility, to navigate with the arrow keys (or page-up / page-down) through days or events in the calendar. At least keyboard shortcuts for "Next/previous day/week/month" buttons would we very appreciated.

I hoped, that "supernova" would have these possibillities, but I could not find them. Did I missed something?

Thanks an greetings

It Thunderbird installation 102.12.0 Since latest release I have no possibility any longer to switch my different calenders. When clicking on the new spaces toolbar to the calender tab, the left sidebar is empty.

Where are my calenders, how can I bring back the sidebar?

Hi,

I have several individuals stored in my Contacts for whom I've loaded their birthdates. I would like to receive reminders and/notifications in Thunderbird when these birthdates are approaching, say like 10 days out. Is there a way to configure Contacts and/or Calendar to get these reminders/notifications in advance of these birthdates? If so, how?

thanks, Tom

Hi,

I noticed when dismissing any and all calendar event with Thunderbird I'm always presented with a "Item Changed on Server" dialog.

It asks me to "Submit my changes anyway" (even though I've made no changes) or to "Discard my changes and reload"

It doesn't occur on any other app that I use to receive calendar notifications, it should just dismiss when I click dismiss from the initial alert.

Is there something I've missed in the set up or a work around to prevent this dialogue to pop up when I "dismiss" a calendar notification?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

In or around TB 91.3.1 double-clicking on an event, you get a dialog box such as the attached. In order to edit the event, you have to hit the Edit button. In the past, TB would just open the event and allow you to edit it. If the event was recurring then, and only then, would a small dialog box come up to ask if you were editing just this event or all events. I see no advantage to this extra dialog box, especially for one-time-only events. It's just another unnecessary click of the mouse.

My TB is up to date (102.7.2) and in the last week or so my Yahoo calendar is not syncing and when I hover over the warning symbol it says '...temporarily unavailable'. My Outlook calendar is syncing and showing. Any ideas how I can fix it ?

Thanks - Ed

In TB 102 I was able to convert an email to an appointment or task by right clicking the the email in the list and choosing either to "Convert To" a a task or calendar item. I newly installed TB 115 and in this version those options seems no longer to be available. Was this intentional? I would really like to see this functionality restored as I used it frequently. Or am I simply overlooking something?

Is there a way to add a Google Meet within the calendar settings?...something like Google Workspace where a meeting automatically creates a Google Meet link/invite for attendees. Thanks.

Just a couple of days ago, Google calendar no longer syncs with Thunderbird. I didn't change any settings and it looks like I can't even re-add the Google calendar events it should sync to.

Hello,

I have thunderbird. I have several email accounts set up. I have a Google Calendar. I sometimes receive invites by emails and I want to be able to accept them s.t. they get added to my Google Calendar automatically. I don't use the Calendar feature of Thunderbird itself.

- Now what I did was download the Google Calendar Provider Addon and synced my Google Calendar. This gets me the "no writeable calendar" found. - If I create a "local" calendar inside Thunderbird, it works but then it just addes the invite to the local calendar and I have 0 sync. - I thought maybe I use CalDav but File => new => Calendar just shows me "local calendar/network calendar/google calendar".

Any help is appreciated.

When I woke my computer from "Sleep mode" on the morning of 14 Jan 2023 The Event Calendar on the right pane still showed the date as 13 Jan 2023 As illustrated in the first screen shot, there are even 2× "Today" entries, one for the 13th, and one for the 14th. When bringing up a new Event, by tapping the new Event button button, even the dates defaulted to the 13th, and not to the current day, the 14th.

Tapping the "Today" button in the header of the Calendar Event pane, did force the pane to refresh, and update itself. Subsequently, a "New Event" was dated to "today" by default.

This has happened on previous versions of Thunderbird, I just happened to document it this time. Most days (99% of the time), my computer is shutdown, so on restart, when Thunderbird launches, the Calendar Event pane syncs with the current date by default.
