Thunderbird Support Forum

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.

Events that start late one day and go into the next day past midnight show up on both days, I would love to be able to have it show up only on the first day, like it does on my Google Calendar. Is there a way to fix this? Or a way to set the "beginning of day" to be later like 5AM?

Latest version of Thunderbird running, any solutions/advice would be great/

Thanks

Attempting to import bank holidays from the UK government web site (https://www.gov.uk/bank-holidays/england-and-wales.ics) fails with the error code MODIFICATION_FAILED. The description seems irrelevant to import: "If you're seeing this message after snoozing or dismissing a reminder and this is for a calendar you do not want to add or edit events for, you can mark this calendar as read-only to avoid such experience in future. To do so, get to the calendar properties by right-clicking on this calendar in the list in the calendar or task view."

I have successfully imported earlier versions of this file.

I am self-hosting a EteSync server in my home and have the EteSync-Dav software setup on my local machine. When I connect to the calendar link associated with my EteSync account directly and input my credentials it successfully downloads a .ics file. However, when I attempt to connect to my calendar using the exact same link in Thunderbird it results in this error message: "Could not find calendars at this location. Please check your settings." I've gone back through the entire process of setting up my EteSync server and the EteSync-Dav adapter to rule out user-error multiple times and I wanted to check and verify that this wasn't just simply a bug on Thunderbird's side. My hunch has been that this is likely an SSL cert issue, since the EteSync-Dav adapter was setup with an SSL cert, but the cert is installed at the OS level, so I am not sure why this would be the case. I even tried to manually import the cert into Thunderbird with no luck.

Thank you in advance.

My financial advisor advises the he will "will forward the next quarterly review invite via Microsoft Calendar".

I exclusively use Thunderbird Calendar. Is there a way that I can received these notifications in Thunderbird. I do not have Microsoft Office, Outlook, Calendar etc. installed.
