Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi everyone,

I'm having trouble adding Google Calendar to Thunderbird. I have added a Google account and all e-mails and some of the calendars have downloaded correctly.

The problem is that I can't see all the Google calendars from within Thunderbird.

In the Calendars section, I click on "+", select "Remote Calendars", enter my Google mail in the user name and I get an incomplete list of calendars (several are missing, including "Finanse", "Imieniny urodzinki", "ProgramyTV").

You can see the differences in the attached screenshots.

How do I correctly synchronize Thunderbird with Google Calendars so that all my calendars are visible? (I do not use any add-ons)

Hi, I have set-up 2 calendars for my 2 email addresses on Thunderbird email client with Provider for Google Calendar, and besides the invites, the calendars work well with 2 way sync, etc.

Problem is when I accept an email invite on Thunderbird from either account it automatically goes to one calendar and not the other and I can't find a way to get it to the proper calendar.

- One calendar is from MS Exchange/Outlook (synced with Thunderbird) where all invites go - One calendar is my Google/GMail calendar (synced with Thunderbird) where invitations do not go Interestingly on my Google Web version (Google Calendar site, not Thunderbird) the invites are properly allotted to the right calendars. So I am guessing it’s my Thunderbird setup.

Have attached 4 screenshots: - Calendars listed - Settings for the MS Exchange calendar - Settings for the Google calendar - Screen where I accept the invite. The invite is sent to the Gmail address and the response is the proper Gmail address. Also something odd about me "not being on the list" shows up whenever I accept from any account.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I face the strange behavior that items added with TB to calendar or tasks which will be synchronized, but those which are made on my tablet or mobile won´t be brought into TB although I can see them in SoGo web interface.

I am using the native CalDAV and CardDAV solution in TB.

Can somebody help?

Hi, I've searched a lot here and on other websites. I want to integrate the thunderbird calendar with the outlook.com calendar, not the Microsoft Outlook calendar. How to do so? I did publish the .ics file from outlook.com settings but do not know what to do now. Really lost. Please advice. Thanks Mohamed

I've been using Thunderbird for work for a few years and a few months ago my calendar integration with my Google Calendar stopped working. I've tried everything I can think of including re-installing calendars, but without success. My Thunderbird at home can still accept invites, but not on my work computer despite verifying that the calendar address and such is the same.

Initially, when I'd click 'Accept' on an invite, nothing would happen (ie no prompt, failure etc), the invite would just stay there without response. Now it's asking me if I want to link it with one of two different calendars I have, both of which I've verified under the calendar on Thunderbird that it isn't associated with an email address (has the yellow bar at the top saying if you want to use this calendar to store invitations you need to associate with an email address).

I can't think of what to do for next steps for troubleshooting, any thoughts?

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?

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?

Hi I have been using tasks in thunderbird for a while. It seems to me that Tasks ｢description｣ part use html(with some format), unlike mail body where I can change to pure text.

※reason I have problem with this - If I copy from browser/rich text editor(like word), it brings in extra font - sometimes I need to press ｢Enter｣ twice to add a newline

Thank you

It's not on settings. I found this css code but don't know how one installs css for thunderbird. I got as far as opening the config editor on the calendar options. But I don't see what entry it is.

Alternatively if I can change the weekend colors that would work well. They are nearly the same yellow as the CURRENT color.

Thanks!

Korzystam z Thunderbird Portable 102.5.1 (64 bity) i mam problem z kalendarzem. Jak tworzę nowy kalendarz, obojętnie zdalny czy lokalny (import z pliku .ics), to po prawej stronie, w sekcji Bieżące / Events pojawiają się najbliższe wydarzenia, ale widok jest dostępny tylko do następnego uruchomienia Thunderbirda albo do zmiany daty – po 24:00 wydarzenia znikają. Nie umiem sobie z tym poradzić i praktycznie codziennie muszę zakładać/importować nowy kalendarz, który mam i na koncie Gmail i zapisany na dysku. Zaimportowałem też PolishHolidays.ics ze strony www.thunderbird.net (by Artur Majcherczak) i z tym kalendarzem nie mam żadnych problemów – święta są widoczne po każdym uruchomieniu TP. Proszę o pomoc.

Today I received from Ubuntu's repo the update to Thunderbird 102.2.2.

I have linked Thunderbird with my Nextcloud instance https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/19/user_manual/pim/sync_thunderbird.html

this is done by using 2 addons: - https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/ - https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/dav-4-tbsync/

unfortunately they are both incompatible with Thunderbird 102 therefore automatically disabled.

How can I use Thunberbird 102 with Nexcloud?

I am using Thunderbird & Lightning for a long time - thank you for your work on that!

I'm heavily using calendar-events with status (CONFIRMED/DECLINED/...) but in my current knowledge i have to go a long (click-)way changing that status: Click on Event->Click on Edit->Click on Settings/Status->Select Status.

Is there a faster (less clicks) way to do it?

Thank you for your help!

Recently rcvd a pair of reminders from my/our calendar (attached). When I attempted to Dismiss/Dismiss All, the reminder dialog remained open. There was no hint of any activity related to the dialog response at all. I closed the dialog using the upper right corner X and shortly thereafter the dialog reappeared. Once the dialog reappeared, I attempted to Snooze/Snooze All. Again, there was no hint of any activity.

1. TB is up-to-date @ v102.4.0 x64.
2. The workstation was restarted just to be sure something else related to the current Windows session was not the cause.

Anyone else experienced this recently or have suggestions on possible ways to remedy it?

My running Thunderbird 102.3.1 with "provider for google" extension installed

Some of the entries on the Google web version of the calendar are not appearing in the Thunderbird version

All help and suggestions welcomed

So, I have to unsubscribe / resubscribe to one of my 4 Google calendars to get it to show for current month since upgrading to 102.3.1... now running 102.4.1 and it still happens, even with add-ons disabled and using the built-in caldav support... only now I have to manually enter my gmail account name every time to re-subscribe to the one missing calendar. After unsubscribing/resubscribing to the one calendar, I went to print my monthly calendar today, found that the popup window was blank (layout:'list') and changed layout to 'monthly grid'... still blank, until I turn off 'events' and the monthly grid shows except empty of any calendar information. I turned the 'events' back on and even the grid goes away and it's a blank window again. I tried restarting Thunderbird and printing the 3 calendars that do show and still get a blank screen with any 'layout: list, monthly grid, or weekly planner... unless I turn off 'events', then the empty grid (monthly/weekly) shows. I now have to go to Google Calendar in order to print my monthly calendar... or to see my 'missing' calendar without having to re-enter my credential information just to see the current month. Almost to the point I HAVE to leave a Chrome window open to Google Calendar because of the issues since upgrading Thunderbird to 102.3.1. I'm aware that Google has changed things (Gmail now Workspaces). Is that the problem with Thunderbird accessing Google Calendar?

Hello, Thunderbird just auto-upgraded to 102.3.1. And now, one of my three Google Calendars are 'missing': Holidays in US and Medical are OK, but ToDo isn't showing. I tried to unsubscribe ToDo and re-subscribe and it was back... until I changed to November and it was gone again. Changed back to October and it's gone from all months again. I read a few articles from months ago and thought perhaps the issue had been fixed for release, apparently NOT. Good thing I can still see all of my calendars on my phone... Just tried unsubscribe from all three calendars and added Medical and ToDo back - OK... until I change months again and ToDo disappears from all months. Just unsubscribed from all Google calendars (including the email address calendar) and subscribed to ONLY ToDo... back until changed months again. Don't really want to set up my whole gmail account again, but if that's what it take to get all my calendar back I'm willing to do it... I'd hate to lose Thunderbird as my email client, but this is a real 'deal breaker'. Perhaps it's the name "ToDo" that's the problem??? I guess I'll try changing that to see if it's the problem...

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.

Hi,

I want to sync with read-write access to my Google Agenda on Thunderbird. I already have a Google mail account set up, works fine. I followed the steps on the blog post by downloading and installing the Provider add-on.

When I go to add a Google Agenda, I enter my email account and a popup opens and closes immediately (the popup asking me to log into my account I imagine).

See the screenshot attached as I managed to take a picture right as the popup appears and disappears immediately.

Have used the calendar feature for years. After update to 102.4.0 (from openSuse) the calendar pane is not visible. The "Calendar" entry in the View menu is greyed out. Don't see anything like this in search of the forum. The calendar tab is present, and I can see events. Is the pane gone, leaving the tab? Thanks.
