I'm migrating to a new computer and from Windows 10 to W11. I have successfully exported/imported the contacts using the export tool, but cannot figure out how to ex/im the calendar. I am using a SanDisk drive to move the files. Both systems have TBird 102.1.2 (64-bit).

Please give step-by-step instructions to do the calendar (only) ex/im. I do not use the Mail feature.

I have always exported my calendar events in the CSV format to upload them to Google Calendar. That's gone. The Ical exported file is incompatible with Google Calendar. When attempting to import I just get a message reading:

"Imported 0 out of 0 events. Unable to process your iCal/CSV file."

I'm using version 102.3.0.

Any help is appreciated. Restoring the CSV export function would be even more appreciated.

Hi there,

I use the newest version of Thunderbird and I am superscribed to several work-related calendars that I need to check from time to time, like the one where people put if they are doing home office, are in holidays or sick, etc. However, I don't need to see all this information in my Today Pane view in my Inbox, because it usually gets messy . How can I edit the configuration of the Today Pane so it shows only my personal calendar or selected ones?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best, Victor

For many years I have been printing each month with all dated information. I use that info to manage my life and meetings. The new version 115.3.3 (64 bit) will not allow me to print a month. What do I have to do to print what I need?

Hi,

Is there a way to synchronize data between calendars in thunderbird, or with an extension? I am looking for something that works like the outlook caldav synchronizer (https://caldavsynchronizer.org/).

This tool uploads all events I enter in the outlook calendar, to the google calendar, and vice versa.

In the case of Thunderbird, I'd like events I enter in the "home" calendar, to be synchronized with the google calendar I have also attached. I don't want to be forced to select the google calendar every time I add a new event.

Hello I am having issues with my calendar option not retaining the events that I have entered. I have never had this issue before. I have no clue how to get it to retain the entered events. Any direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Monique

As mentioned in title I cannot use the calendar function at all. Same with tasks function:

• I can open the calendar tab, but that's it.
• There is no calendar on the calendar list, and the 'plus'-icon to add a new calendar is greyed out.
• There are buttons to change the views (week, day etc) but these also are greyed out.
• Same issue with tasks: I can open the tab, but cannot add any tasks

It all worked with older versions of TB. I had several calendars in place, no problem. But after some upgrade everything is gone. The calendars, originally set up on TB, are still there, but only accessible on the g-account...

Version: TB 91.11. Add-ons: Provider for google calendar

Any idea? I really want to use TB calendar function instead. If I could at least only set up a new calendar, that would be very helpful. Thx a lot in Advance!

While using Yahoo email I tried to access the 'Notepad' page and get a message saying to Download a new version of Firefox to see the 'Calendar' even though I was trying for the 'Notepad' not the 'Calendar'. If I try for the 'Calendar' I initially get the small right-sidebar version fine but if I ask for the full page version I get the error message again. This does not happen if I access Yahoo through Chrome-browser. I have repeatedly done the download to no avail. (I have version 99.0.1). I am attaching a screenshot of the error message. Thanks for any help. No rush.

I see that I can save an ics file from an email or website and import it from within thunderbird. I want thunderbird to be my default calendar app, so I can just click on / open an ICS file and it does so in Thunderbird, NOT Outlook. I don't even see a way to uninstall outlook without having to uninstall office altogether (not a viable solution).

Thunderbird 102.6.1, Windows 11

Over the last several updates to Tbird (can't say exactly when it started), my Google calendar seldom gets updated, and then seemly only at random times. The "synchronize calendars" command has no effect. A week or more can go by with no update, although my computer is always on and connected to the internet. Exiting and restarting Tbrird does not help. Eventually th calendar updates itself, unpredictably.

When I add an event to the Google calendar in Tbird, it shows up immediately in other instances of the Google calendar, such as on my phone. So we know that Tbird calendar is talking to Google, if only in one direction.

I didn't see this problem mentioned in any of the help articles. If others have reported this problem in the Community, I didn't find the thread. Any suggestions?

Since updating Thunderbird to 102, I can no loger import the lightening calendar. Exporting a .ics file from one pc works but on trying to import it into any other pc or the same one, I get "No importable items found in the file". Any help would be appreciated.

Hello- I use Outlook365 at work and populate my calendar with my added events along side my company calendar, which is the main calendar.

 I used to be able to sync this calendar on TB on my personal laptop and got both the company calendar events & my added ones synced on one calendar. Now, all I am getting after the sync is the company calendar and not my added events. Since TB thinks my default email is my personal one, I thought perhaps changing that to my work email would allow the syncing to happen fully. (..this is the kind of thinking you get from a non-computer expert... :-) )

I just updated to 102 and lost calendar. I tried instructions from your help page. Got as far as "extensions.installedDistroAddon.{e2fda1a4-762b-4020-b5ad-a41df1933103}". What I see is that boldface in a box with True further to the right and then a toggle and delete icon. When I right click I only get a box that says copy, paste or select all, with select all being the only option available. I tried toggling to false and then continuing. When I go to the add on manager and select extensions, there are none listed. I tried restarting Thunderbird at that point, but the calendar is still not showing my info. Help!

I have been using Thunderbird and Lightning on Windows and Linux computers for several years. I just installed Thunderbird 102.6.1 on a new Windows 10 computer. I've spent at least an hour trying to find and install Lightning. I cannot find it. Web searches say to look in add-ons, Tools, the hamburger menu and Events and Task ... not of those exist in my Thunderbird.

How do I find Lightning?

I have recently switched from MS Outlook to Thunderbird/Lightning. So far, reasonably so good. One thing that continues to frustrate me is an issue with calendar reminder popups. I thought I was not getting them, but now I think I'm getting them but they disappear. Some research suggests that it may have already been reported that reminder popups will disappear once Thunderbird checks for new mail, and what I'd vastly prefer is for a calendar reminder popup to stay, well, popped-up until I dismiss it.

Am I missing something? Maybe a setting somewhere? Or is this a known issue that has yet to be solved?

I did have a massive problem when I imported my Outlook calendar in that I got reminder popups for every calendar entry back to the dawn of time, and which would NOT dismiss no matter how many times I tried, so I enabled the setting to not remind me about past events.

It seems as if I may have to choose between two unacceptable options: either re-enable reminders for past events, so that when Thunderbird checks for mail any undismissed reminder popups will remain (or re-popup), or live with the reminder popups disappearing (and, the whole reason I'm writing this, I'll miss calendar events if I don't happen to be glued to my computer for the 30 minutes the popup will exist). Is there not some other option?

In 2020 I had asked how it's not possible ( and after what, 10yrs of Lightening being in production ) that in 2020 that when a person ( we will call him Bob ) send another person ( we will call her Sally ) an email ( and there are 2 other people on that same email ) that when Sally wants to QUICKLY and EASILY setup a meeting that people from the email from Bob are not just added to that new meeting and you are done?

This should be INCREDIBLY incredibly easy to do: right click --> Convert To..... ----> Event and then when the dialog box pops up, Bob, Sally, and the 2 other people are added to that meeting. Yet, No. Three years later? How can this be ?

In the original post https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1295910 and as commented on by @sfhowes it was suggested to ask on the chat groups. Yep. Did that. Nothing. Again, How can this be?

So, Let's add up the time it takes to do this, the number of clicks, etc,. and it's more than 5 mins just to go back and forth to the original email, copy and past peoples names and put them into the "attendees" dialog box. If I have to do 10 of these a day - and I often do, that's 1hr a day of meeting setup that I could do in literally 1 min if the above functionality worked and which it does on just about EVERY other email platform out there. Add this up, 1hr a day, 20 work days a month that's 20hrs a month * 12 = 240 hrs or TWENTY FOUR DAYS of our lives wasted every month making calendar invites where if right right click --> Convert To..... ----> Event and peoples names and email addresses were already added, this would not be happening.

Is there someone at Modzilla / Thunderbird / Lightening that we can pay to put this functionality which was clearly there in the past back, so we can ALL have 23 days of our life back every year? :))))))))))))))

It's 2023. This functionality is clearly needed to be enabled again.

Until I updated to Supernova (115.2.2) the CPU usage was low but since the update there is a high usage on a Lenovo Win 10 PC that is up to date.

It seems it is related to the calendar. If the calendar is not brought into focus immediately after starting SuperNova the CPU usage is up around 14%. Once the calendar is brought into focus and I go back to any inbox the CPU usage drops to less than 1%

For no reason I can discern, my Thunderbird Calendar reminders have stopped appearing.

I checked in the Options section and everything seems in order (see attached).

I am on the latest version of 102.5.0 Windows.

I've rebooted my laptop.

Any thoughts and suggestions welcome.
