So. Thunderbird released an update, I updated, and all my custom event colours, that I really need, have gone from old to current see attachments. This was asked https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1326997?utm_campaign=questions-reply#question-reply

And a solution found that worked. Now Mozilla in their ludicrous wisdom have somehow screwed this up again. Anyone have a solution that works? I and lots of other people like the whole event title bar being a single colour. These 'dots' at the end are useless to see. Thanks PS Stop screwing with the settings. What to add something new, then create an add-on.

Let's start all over. Thunderbird automatically updated and I have lost all entries in my calendar. I have had help with solving my problem which have not worked. How do I launch the Thunderbird about.config? I have been told to go to TOOLS and select OPTIONS. There is no OPTIONS to select under the under the TOOLS menu. I have 3 calendars and all are shown as ENABLED. What did the update change and how do I get my entries back?

TB 91.1.2 was installed automatically and all my calendar date is gone. When I try to re-enter they don't stay. When I switch to TODAY and go back to what I just entered it's not there.

Since the latest upgrade to version 91 the Calendar has become unusable. To start with, after the update my main Calendar has completely disappeared taking with it very important upcoming appointments. In addition to that if I create an event all the data entered does not appear in the relevant day in the calendar and it will also not allow me to import any future events from other calendars.

To put bluntly, as a calendar it is totally useless. Any suggestions please?

[Nov 17 I deleted "TB78" from the subject line when I realised the problem goes back earlier.] ICS makes message text invisible!

I have an online booking system and I can send and receive email messages to and from my clients via this. These emails contain both a text message, plus an ICS of the appointment the message relates to. All was well until I updated to TB78. Previous TB would show me both the information in the ICS file in an unboxed freeform format, plus the vital text message from my client at the top of the screen.

Now that is broken. First - this bit is not broken, this is just different - the ICS appears in a blue box in a structured layout. And - BIG problem - the text message appears nowhere in the email, neither before, in or after the blue ICS box. Ie the point of the email, the actual message, is not shown!

The problem is with TB78. If I go back to emails from before TB78 in which I could previously read the message, the message has no longer displayed. And if I access any of these emails in webmail, they all have to the old freeform unboxed format and the message perfectly visible.

This looks very like a bug in TB78 and I hope can be fixed or a setting that changes it.

Many thanks

After updating to TB 78, all calendars are not working. I see a "Provider for this calendar could not be found" messages in my calendar details. I did not change any settings when updating, and the calendars were working before updating.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi all,

I'm trying to add a Google CalDAV calendar to my Thunderbird. I obtained the URL (of the form https://apidata.googleusercontent.com/caldav/v2/...@group.calendar.google.com/events), but when I try to add a network calendar nothing happens (see screenshot – spinner goes on endlessly).

I am using Thunderbird 91.0.3 on Mac; a friend of mine has experienced the same with Thunderbird 91 on Windows. When asking another friend, who uses Thunderbird 78, to try and add the same calendar, the interface was a little different (he had to explicitly mark it as CalDAV as opposed to iCal), and then he was redirected to a web browser to login to Google for authentication – I guess that's what should happen next, but for me it doesn't.

Note: I can also get an iCal URL for my calendar from Google, and adding this to Thunderbird 91 does work, but is not good enough, as it only grants me read-only access to the calendar.

I'll appreciate any help – thanks!

I was on vers 78.12.0 and Thunderbird told me a new version was available. Since download and install from Thunderbird has never worked for me, I went to the Mozilla website, and did a download and install. The version that was available is 91.0.1. But now, Calendar which was working in 78 is no longer working. There are new Enable buttons on the left for the various potential sources of events for the calendar, but clicking on any of them has no effect in what is displayed in the calendar grid. If I close Thunderbird then reopen, what I previously selected to be Enabled is now disabled, and still no calendar grid.

Since it looks like upgrading to 91 was a mistake, I tried to reinstall vers 78, but I get an error message that the existing profile has been updated for the newer version, and that If I want to use the old version, I need to create a new profile and reload all my accounts, add-ins, etc. Wait, what? Why was the old profile not preserved and a new one created for the new version to allow for reverting back from a bad update?

BTW, I previously paid to support Thunderbird.

When I send an invitation with additional text in the description, this text does not reach users who use Outlook (with Exchange). Instead, the appointment only contains the text: <email address> invited you to <appointment name>. The description is missing.

OS: Mac / 2020 Macbook Pro Thunderbird version 78.7.1 (64-bit) (most current) Provider for Google Calendar Add-on version 78.0.1 (most current)

Been having this issue for a while now - Calendar entries suddenly don't show up in the calendar tab and in the today pane.

I go into the calendar pane and click the eye shaped icon next to the google calendar I want to see, it all becomes visible again in both the calendar and today pane.

The next day it's usually gone again and I have to go in and make it visible. I don't shut down my computer or thunderbird. Calendar settings are set to "Show all calendars"

It's not a huge deal, but tedious to do every day and the whole point of having the today pane is that I'm not thinking about those things, I see them, I remember to do them. I don't always remember to refresh it and it's caused me to miss some things.

I have tried removing thunderbird and re-installing, that doesn't affect it. I have tried disconnecting/reconnecting the Google calendar, that doesn't affect it either.

Please help! Thanks

I have been using Thunderbird and the Thunderbird Calendar for years without any problems. I am using Windows 10 and Thunderbird 91.0.3 (64-bit). About 2 weeks ago all the entries on my calendar disappeared many of them birthdays which had been there for years. I have re-entered and saved some new events but when I come back to the laptop after an hour or so without closing and reopening Thunderbird, they have disappeared. Replies to other questions suggest importing but as I have never exported it and have no other calendars there is nowhere to import it from.

I would like my default calendar to be the first in the list of calendars so that when I am creating a new event (I usually use "convert to event from email" option). However as I have multiple calendars, the first in the list is I think the one I may have created first and it resets itself to as such after each restart, even though I re-order the list to my liking. Setting my preferred calendar as "default" calendar also does not help because this setting really does not seem to do anything, the default calendar is the one that is last left selected in the calendar view (and it is usually the first calendar in the list if I do not actively change it to another calendar).

I am happy to even edit the setting in configuration file - if there is such a setting for this list. If so, please advise. - Thanks!

Since the export of the Calendar in CVS format has been removed, How do I now export the calendar in CVS format.

I use the calendar entries in taxes as a source of miles driven for medical purpose's and other tax related information. The CVS format makes it easy to to sort and calculate.

30 minutes ago, Thunderbird has been updated in the backgroung, to version 78.4.0. After the updated version was launched, the calendar is missing from any data. It never happened to me before. Any suggestions how to resove this and see my calendar stuff? Tx!

I have been using Thunderbird for many years, and depend on its calendar function. I would like to add my wife's Yahoo calendar to Thunderbird, in addition to my Google calendar. This USED to work, but now it has stopped working. I am unable to import the Yahoo calendar. What can I do?

Version: Thunderbird 91.7.0 (64-bit) [Flatpak from Flathub] OS: Xubuntu 20.04

Issue: The times indicated on the left side of the "Day" and "Week" view are wrong. They seem to be 5:30 hours behind the actual time. This calendar is synced from Google Calendar where the times are correct. Even the current time indicator is offset by the same amount in Thunderbird. In fact, even the times I set for start and end of day are offset by the same amount. See attached image for details. What is interesting is that my timezone is IST which is UTC+5:30. Now I did look this up on bugzilla and other forums, the only remedy I found was to set the timezone in Preferences>Calendar>Timezone. This was already set for me and I have tried changing it back and forth, but got no effect.

Please suggest a course of action. I am not averse to going through config files, getting logs and/or writing a bug report if this is indeed a bug.

I have two calendars - one local, one network. I want the network calendar to be the default for entry of new events. I keep selecting the network calendar in the calendar list pane, but the selection keeps reverting to the local calendar. How can I set the network calendar as the default, and have it remain the default thereafter, so that I don't have to constantly re-select the network calendar?

I migrated my calendar from Outlook to TB (v91.03 (64 Bit operating on win10 OS). E. verything is working fine. However there is a recurring event whose reminders I cannot get rid of despite using individual event 'Dismiss' command or "Dismiss All' command. It is an irritant as this notification keeps popping up when I am on video calls and obstructing the screen, Appreciate a solution that I can use. A big Thank You

Looks like Thunderbird 91.x Calendar (OSX) has a totally new Print dialogue but useful functionality has disappeared.

Print Preview - no longer can preview or print Selected events/tasks.

Previously, you could tick the box for a choice of What to Print:

• Current view
• Selected events/tasks
• Custom date range

The second option was really, really useful and I used it all the time to only print out selected Events from different dates. It is missing from the new Print dialogue and you can no longer copy text from the print preview (which was very useful as well).

Can anyone suggest anything?

I love Thunderbird but I don't use Lightning. Is there any way to remove or at least disable it? Also, it seems that the calendar and tasks icons can't be removed from the toolbar. 32 bit TB v78.2.2 on a Win 10 machine. Thanks in advance!
