I-Thunderbird Isithangami Sokwesekwa

Hi lads,

I used TB for many years but only now started using it in office. I have a problem with the calendar function however which I have to use now. I'd like to have an audio alert and/or window pop-up forcing interaction for any event in my calendar, let's say 15 min ahead. I tend to overlook the small notification pop-ups in the bottom right corner of the screen since they also vanish automatically after a few seconds.

I can get these small bottom right corner pop-ups to appear for any event by using the global notification preferences in the Edit Calender options. However, I can not globally activate an audio alert or a window requiring interaction for upcoming events. I can just activate a reminder manually for each and every event, which is a lot of work, naturally. So, is there a way to activate a reminder (not a notification, which is the bottom right pop up I assume) globally for any event in a calendar?

Can also be done by an add-on or by manually changing source files, if anyone has suggestions in this direction.

Thanks in advance, trashmaster

Having finally got fed up with all the adds in Outlook.com, I've now started using Thunderbird as my email client! (I know, what took me so long?!) I've set up my email ok and it all seems to be working fine and syncing with my Outlook.com account, but I have some queries regarding the Calendar. I've managed to add my Outlook.com calendar to Thunderbird, but; 1 - How do I sync my Thunderbird calendar with my Outlook.com calendar?

    At the moment any changes/additions I make aren't synced.

2 - Also, someone shares their calendar (Outlook.com) with me.

     How do I add and sync this to my Thunderbird calendar.

Although I love my tech etc, I'm only good with what I know, so please explain any solutions as clearly and simply as you can, sorry! Regards Mark

Hi,

I would like to know if it is possible to have a calendar feature that's like Apple's Calendar and like Google's Calendar where I can drop files into the date I create or will edit. I would like it to also have an unlimited attachments list where I can drop as many as I can. Also if I can drop off files or have the destination open on my drive/pc?

Best,

Kevin

Hello, I added my iCloud account (Mail and calendar) to Thunderbird. At this moment, I'm not able to accept invitations to the iCloud calendar. Is there any way to fix it, or what should I do? I would love it if anyone could advise me on how to do it.

Thanks,

Hi there, I'm trying to fix my thunderbird client's calendar. I have a meeting invite from EEST(+3) at 3:00PM but when it gets converted to my timezone (+8) it shows up as 9:00PM instead of 8:00PM.

I am using thunderbird version 115.9.0 (64-bit). I also have my timezone set manually to Singapore.

Thunderbird 115.9.0 (64-bit).

I have my timezone set to manual, Europe.

I create an event for 30 March 2024 and the time is displaying in my time zone

I mark it as ALL DAY and it switches to Local Time (not a problem so far)

If I display the calendar as 1 month starting with 24 March, then the event shows properly on Saturday 30 March

If I scroll the calendar up to start on 31 March, now the event shows on 31 March.

If I edit the event, it says the timezone is Chicago.

Changing the timezone and resaving it doesn't help.

OS: Windows 11 Pro (23H2) Tb Version: 115.9.0 (64-Bit)

This is more a design question. With the Supernove release you moved the search bar and action icon into the top of the window. So on the email and calendar tab all the buttons are now on the very top next to search bar.

I configured to create new appointments in a new tab, not an extra window. But in this appointment tab the action buttons are in a seperate action bar below the tabs for email and calendar and not next to the search bar on top like I would have expected it according to the new design. I added screenshot to describe better what I mean. Is it planned to move the action buttons to the top for the new apointment tab?`

In general it is a bit annoying that the height of the toolbar on top varies. Like if there are buttons and you choose "show text below symbols" for it the toolbar is higher, of course. But then if you have a tab without symbols, e.g. the settings-tab or the new appointment tab, the height of the toolbar reduces. It would be great if this could be standardized.

Hi, When creating an event in the calendar view, I get my timezone displayed (Europe/Paris), I set my starting and ending time and save.

On event display in the calendar, I immediately notice that the time is off by 1h. On viewing the details, the right time is displayed but on 'Europe/Dublin' timezone. Changing it back doesn't fix the time, timezone always change after save.

I took a look at my settings, tried to use "use system timezone" (= Europe/Paris) of forced it to Europe/Paris, even checked the config editor, but nothing changed.

Did I miss a setting ?

My calendar is sync by CalDav (using TBSync), don't know if this could be related.

After exporting the Thunderbird calender, the tasks do not appear in the destination calender, only the calender entries. Is it possible to export/import tasks? Emclient was the destination email client.

Given that I want to create a new event in the calendar with a description When I click on +New Event Then a tab opens that is so large given my 175% scaling that the Description field for the New Event is just above the taskbar. I cannot see what I am typing beyond the first line. There is no scrollbar to scroll down, nor a way to collapse the fields above.

=> This design is inadequate for 30% of the world population that suffers from presbyopia, or age related poor sight, and uses a large scaling.

How does one enable calendars in Thunderbird version 115.8.0? When I click the calendar icon on the left of the page, I get a calendar displayed but it has a message highlighted in yellow that says: "All calendars are currently disabled. Enable an existing calendar or add a new one to create or add events."

I cannot find anything in settings or elsewhere to enable calendars.

TIA

Hi. I just started to use thunderbirdb calendar and I'm a bit confused about 'Tags.' Should I be able to add a tag to a new event or task? If so I see no option to assign a tag to an event or task.

How do I distinguish between an event and task?

Thanks, James

I use Thunderbird calendar for all my events and without it I am lost. Yesterday, I wanted to export my calendar to be imported later by an online platform. I used the export function. I noticed however, that under the name of my calendar on the left pane this has appeared ( . export). I thought the ics file is already created, so I went ahead and deleted the strange ". export" item that appeared under my calendar name in the left pane. What happened next was that all my events disappeared from my normal calendar window. My question is how I can get back all my events? Or how I can restore the ". export" so my events come back.

Additional information: I did not have backup for my calendar. I cannot locate anywhere the ics file I thought it is "exported" I am using the latest version of Thunderbird as of March 2024.

Calendar print shows two items where only one exists. See attachments of both the original Google Calendar and the TB calendar prints. If only one of the calendars is selected, the print is correct

It has been about a week now since 115.8 tried to install on my Windows 10 but could not without my password. I have been on Auto update for years now and could not put in correct password. It was suggested I go back to 102 and start over with a new account. I did. I have 102 and can send and receive emails. Problem is 102 does not show all emails that show in my same account when I log into Ionos.com host of my email account. I created another problem going to Thunderbird 102, birthdays. I have no access to my Thunderbird calendar not only for this month but all months this year and forever. I made a copy of everything in my account prior to going back to 102 to get a new password. How to I get my 2014 calendar back. And first thing I do if and when I get it back is to use a pen and paper to write down birthdays and whatever I want to remember and save it on paper just in case this happens again? Thanks.

Ever since the latest 115.8.0 update local links to .pdf file stopped working eg: below. When I would click on that link it would open the invoice.pdf in my PDF client.

Hoping whatever was broken will be fixed soon Thank You

Hello,

Similarly to user that asked https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1376333, I would like to know if an accepted event can be edited – really edited, not just by converting/duplicating it to a task or another event.

For example, if I added an accepted invite to the wrong calendar and would like to move it to another one of my calendars... This calendar switching feature is part of MacOS Calendar, even if, as in Thunderbird, other properties of an accepted invite are not editable (except for comments).

Since this lack of control over invite edition is mainly what is holding me to adopt Thunderbird, is such a feature likely to be deployed eventually?

Regards,

Dear Sir or Madam,

I have come a long way using linux but there is one thing I am missing dearly in Thunderbird Calendar: I want to see the next x days to move around my appointments if needed and to see my future days. On Wednesday I don't need to see the past two days but Monday and Tuesday of the next week, so I can use the time without switching to a month view or move my calendar around.

Is this hard to implement?

Thank you!

Best regards Dejan

Calendar page does not fit on display window. Display is set at 100% (recommended) This was not a problem on previous versions. Day columns are wider. Can not find a way to adjust.
