I inadvertently close the Today Pane (side bar on right). Now I can't find a way to reopen it. Also, when it was open there is no value in the 'Due' column, only the task.

Any ideas James

I recently installed Thunderbird again after several years away from it. I do not not why I ever stopped using it but no matter I am back to it now.

However, upon setting it up, I noticed that the tasks have not been added from ANY of my accounts. When I go to the calendar list on the task view, no calendars are showing either.

How do I get Thunderbird to show my tasks in the various accounts?

I am using Thunderbird 128.14.0esr on Debian. I tried to import an internet calendar but it was unable to find it until I changed `webcal://` to `https://`.

The issue is basically resolved already by replacing webcal in the URI but it might be better to add support for this scheme too.

(None of the topics provided when creating the question seems to "best describe" this question. So I chose one at random.)

When I create a new task, I can choose a due date. But it seems that when choosing a due date, it forces me to also choose a due time. Is it possible to add a task with a due date but no due time? Maybe something akin to the "all day event" for calendar events?

This answer says to "choose the option 'All Day Event'", but I don't have this option when creating a task (see attached screenshot).

My workaround is to choose an arbitrary time. While this works somewhat, it's unsatisfactory.

Thanks for any help.

Two Questions on Thunderbird Calendar

1. When you convert an event to an email using the calendar, is there a way to have it convert the entire event (time/date, details) instead of just the title?

2. And, how can you choose (make a default) as to which email it comes from?

Request Assistance: 1) I can no longer find the software version of thunderbird when I start up the software. Seems like I need to determine that first.

2) The calender pane that used to be on the right side of the screen is no longer there and I can't figure out how to restore that pane.

Thanks, Steve Rothert

Some of my calendar reminders are not appearing. At least one in particular is still showing. This is a daily reminder. Other reminders whether for a set period or just a one off do not appear.

I am using Version 140.1 on Firefox.

Hello there! I have v. 142 on two notebooks and I want to export the calendar from the one to other. I use: right click -> Export or Event & Tasks - > Export. Both create a file around 1Mb. When I open (File -> Open Calendar) it it seems empty and when importing it an error occurred (nothing to import something). What I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance.

Since a while my TB only runs in safe mode or with Lightning disabled.

Otherwise I get loads of "unresponsive script" messages concerning:

Script: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-task-tree.xml:1010 Script: chrome://calendar/content/widgets/minimonth.xml:531 Script: chrome://calendar/content/widgets/minimonth.xml:547 Script: resource://calendar/modules/utils/calUnifinderUtils.jsm:111 Script: chrome://calendar/content/calFilter.js:728 Script: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-ui-utils.js:89

neither continuing nor stopping the script helps.

I'm running on Linux Mint 18.1 64bit; TB 60.4.0

I do not even miss my calendar so much on my computer, but unfortunately somehow surprisingly it also means that my contacts are not synchronized anymore. I don't know why the disabled Lightning also stop the functioning of the SOGoConnector.

Happy about any advice! Thank you very much! Rouven

Hello community,

So I just came up with thunderbird and I waned to give it a try for my emails and my calendars. The Calendar that I want to sync is from Nextcloud 13 and Thunderbird 60.5.1 (64-bit) on MacOS Mojave 10.14.2. The email sync works pretty fine. I tried though to create a Calendar as well:

Double click on the left bar Choose "On the network" Format: CalDav Location: cloud.xxxxxx.xxx/remote.php/dav/principals/users/xxxx/ Offline support enabled then "next"

on the next tab: Name:xxxxxx Color Show reminders enabled email: The email that I synced

when I finish the configuration the name of the calendar is on the left bar with a triangle exclamation next to it. When I pass the cursor by it, it shows "The calendar xxx is momentarily not available". I tried to sync it but it does nothing. I triedto add an event but nothing changes on the calendar.

What could it be the problem? Thanks in Advance, Alex

Hi there,

I have configured my Google Calendars in Lightning, using the Provider for Google extension. But my primary mail account is not the google mail account.

When receiving invites I get the message that no 'writable' calendar is configured. I read that you should be able to associate another mail address to an Calendar but apparently this option is not available using the Provider for Google configuration.

Any suggestions?

Whenever I try to create a new calendar event, or view a previous one I have created, it is just a blank grey screen. I am not able to edit anything on it.

Please see screenshot below

I have one question and a suggestion.

My question is why doesn't the alarm I set in Lightning work unless Thunderbird is open?

My suggestion is a calendar for Windows and an identical calendar for Android that sync so that I can avoid telling Google all about my life. I've worked hard to avoid Google. I use Firefox as my browser. I use DuckDuckGo as my search engine. I don't use a GMail address. I use Thunderbird to send my messages from my PC. I use an alternative navigation program on my phone and I turn off my GPS when I'm not using it. I use Dragon to talk to my phone when I'm driving instead of using Google Assistant. I use simple calendar, simple file and simple gallery instead of the Google alternatives. And I "sync" my calendars by entering the same information manually into the calendar on my phone and the calendar on my PC (Efficient Calendar Free).

But, boy, it would be sweet if I could find a non-Google calendar program that would sync across my devices. That would really be sweet.

Keep up the great work. You're not only making good products, you're protecting what little is left of our privacy, and I, for one, appreciate that.

I am trying to link to a calendar hosted on www.onlinescoutmanager.co.uk. That application supplies a URL for me to paste in to a calendar application. I successfully create the new calendar in Thunderbird (i.e. I see a message saying the calendar has been created) but no events appear. The new calendar is shown greyed-out in the Calendar List. Opening its properties I can put a tick in to 'Switch this calendar on' but on clicking OK the calendar in the list appears properly for about a second before it is greyed out again. The error console shows the following: While creating services from category 'profile-after-change', could not create service for entry 'calendar-backend-loader', contract ID 'service,@mozilla.org/calendar/backend-loader;1' Expression Search: init... Use of Mutation Events is deprecated. Use MutationObserver instead.

Have version 60.2.1 (64-bit) installed from Linux Mint 18.3 repos. Just discovered that clicking on the "Find Events" button in Lightning (or same for menu item) and NOTHING shows in the Find Events panel that appears. That's NOTHING with a BIG capital 'N'. So what happened? How can it be fixed.

FWIW, this is the WORST upgrade of Thunderbird for a l-o-n-g l-o-n-g time. The completely botched management of the add-on aspect was unbelievably incompetent. Lightning f**ked for an awful lot of people with little help until a few folk (outside of Mozilla) started posting "Uninstall add-on, install distrib xul-). Very bad. The sheer number of "Lighting broke" references when searching the web is testament to the appalling approach to pushing the upgrade. Then there are all those really helpful add-on developers out there that are totally p***ed off with the sudden incompatibility of there helpful work because of an unhelpful Add-on API team. Plus, I've got problems (that I didn't have before) with the Date & Time display aspects and they seem to be insurmountable given the wholly arrogant attitude of those developers involved -- just how *does* Thunderbird/Lightning work with locale? I'm genuinely convinced the developers don't know. And don't get me started on CalDav...

I'm thinking I might be better going back to a previous, stable and FUNCTIONAL version. If the next > v60 upgrade version actually fixes all/most of the problems, I might stick with it, but otherwise I think I'll have to find something else. Shame because this really was a f**king great product with a seriously promising future. Sad. Very sad.

Two days ago, my Google calendar tab disappeared in Thunderbird and I don't know if it is possible to get it back. I manage all events and appointments from Thunderbird so am really missing it. How can I get it back.
