I saw a post about creating a calendar event directly from email ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1091761]) and it mentioned using

Right Click-Convert To-Event or Task

However, I do not see that option. The post is archived so I cannot followup with the original posting.

Somehow I was running an unsupported ver 129 on a Win 10 system, not sure how. I was getting a warning messages at startup. I decided to install the latest supported ver 128. I did that over the ver I was running and did not save, export or rename anything. Just one install over the other. I have lost my calendar that I spent months building. Did I lose it? Any possibility it is still around hiding somewhere? Help please, but I am prepared for the worst for being hasty in my decision. Cheers, TR

Having used our Mailserver with the Autoconfig feature which Thunderbird can make use of.

Now with Thunderbird 128 we are looking for a similar feature to setup Calendars & Addressbook für each Mail user.

Is there also an XML-Like configuration possible?

The Autoconfig really increased the acception of the Mailclient by a very large margin. Can the same feature be used for Calendars and Addressbooks?

See Screenshot attached where it doesn't find any DAV service supportet by the server.

After an update to Thunderbird around 8/10/24, I can still list future calendar events, but no longer past events. It is very useful for me to list past events. For example, I can quickly find out when I last had a flu shot. Could you restore this ability to print a complete list of past events, as well as future events? Thanks! Carl Lund

I wish to merge TB115 calendar with Google calendar. Do I need Lightning? Do I need Provider for Google Calendar? Confused as Lightning features seem to be included in TB115.

Hi, I've enjoyed using Thunderbird calander for years; now using 128.1.0esr (64-bit), the GB / UK version; but something's wrong now. In calander I've been able to use the search bar at the top of the page for searching through the whole of the calander. It's been really useful, checking when I last had appointments at the dentist, opticians etc. so I can plan when I need to book my next visit. I've been able to search through the time lines of various events, very useful for seeing the history of something I want to check. Now I can't do that. I miss it very much. It was quite possibly the main feature of the calanders usefulness for me. The search bar is still there, but now I see a box with lot's of functions to restrict the calanders searching. I don't know if it was there before; I certainly never used it. The best option I can see to search only covers the calanders month or current view. All the other options want you to look forward. I don't want to look forwards. I want to look back. All the way back to when I first started putting enteries into the calander. Those historical entries are really important to me. How can I research things like when I moved house, and I moved years ago, but can't recall when, which is why I had a searchable calander. Have I done something wrong to prevent the historical searching? I've tried looking at all the options settings that I could turn on or off, but can't see anything that will restore the search bar to it's former self. Have I missed something? Can you tell me how to get the full search functionality back please? I'm really hoping that it's not the result of an upgrade to 'improve' calander. If it is, please restore the search function asap. As it stands calander is no longer fit for my purpose. Please help. Many thanks, Jerry.

Hi, new here! Using TB 128 on win 11. Below the mini calendar in the today pane I have a list of events showing. I also have events entered for future and previous months. When I click on one of the arrows next the month, the month switches over but the events list does not. E.g., the month shows October and the events list still shows August. Is that how the calendar is supposed to work?

I'm considering changing the location of my HOME calendar. I went to Home Thunderbird Calendar "Changing calendar preferences" in Mozilla support and looked at "Location". It said "Location: This is the location of your calendar. Do not edit this unless you know what you are doing."

I have not had much success in getting more detail. What do I need to know to be sure I know what I am doing.

Greetings.

I am using Thunderbird 125.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 10 PC (Windows 10 Home Version 22H2).

Within its Calendar interface, the Find Events function has no option to search all events, as shown in the attached screen shot.

Although I do not use this "Search All" functionality frequently, I do consider it essential.

Unfortunately, I am uncertain when it became unavailable. However, I suspect it was sometime within the past several months.

Thank you in advance for any clarification you may provide pertaining to this issue.

So, when can we expect a fix to the search parameters on Calendar? I use this feature ALL THE TIME, and am shocked that no one asked us whether to delete it.

The same thing happened to my income tax software - a major change without notice before OR after, and it threw off a multitude of users at the beginning of las tax season.

Thanks for an otherwise great product over the years!

When I first opened Thunderbird (just a few weeks ago), I noticed that some Calendar Tasks were already set up by Thunderbird. (My standalone calendar is Efficient Reminder).

But I don't see options for REMINDERS - popups (preferably) and/or sounds. (The purpose of a calendar for me is to be reminded to do things.)

I searched for options in Thunderbird, and I looked on the information here, but can't find anything.

If I can I select a sound and/or popup to REMIND me, where can I find the option to set it?

I’m trying to access an Apple calendar in Thunderbird. Read-only is fine.

I made the Apple calendar public & copied the URL. I then supplied the URL to Thunderbird. I receive a request for a password. The Apple calendar being public should not need a password. However, I created an app-spec password anyway, but supplying that password failed as well.

Am I doing something wrong?

I’m running Sonoma 14.6.1 & Thunderbird 128.0.1esr (64bit).

As many have noted, this change eliminates the ability to search for past calendar items. It was a useful ability, especially for interval checking (say, "How long since my last dental hygiene?") but for many other tasks as well. Search of past events needs to be reinstated, if not in the previous manner, then in another - and sooner rather than later.

Lightning had the ability to search the entire calendar for an event, sadly, this new iteration of the calendar built into Thunderbird 128.0.1esr doesn't support anything but today or later events.

Most of the time I use the calendar to search for a previous event (when I was previously somewhere). This is very important and an oversight on the part of who thought the search from now until the end of time was all anyone would need.

Can the functionality be returned to search every event and not just from today onward?

This BUG has persisted for over two years. Reiterating this question/bug report since it is a constant irritation and for which there was no response previously...

With all the various iterations of the TB Calendar including the latest (currently 115.10.1 - 64bit), it has always been a mystery as to how the organizer email address is selected when creating a new calendar item with invitees. It seems to be somewhat random and it changes for no apparent reason.

In my context I show three calendars, all remote (fruux, CALDAV). All three are configured with usernames and email addresses appropriate for the calendar.

There are two fields in an external calendar properties settings that might apply: Username - the email used to access the external calendar....Not appropriate to use for the 'organizer'. Email - according to the documentation "This is the email address Thunderbird uses to send invitations for events." This would be appropriate as the default organizer but it isn't what is used. Instead the Username email is used. THIS IS A BUG.

One would expect that for a calendar item created, when inviting attendees, the organizer would be the email address configured for the calendar but this is *NOT* the case. Instead, it seems an address is plucked somewhat randomly and applied to the field.

Is this something that can be configured or is it just a BUG? It is painful to have to constantly correct the organizer email and results in confusion with my meeting participants, especially when the invitation arrives from a strange email address.

Note that with upgrades to TB 115 and beyond I completely replaced my TB profile from scratch and the problem has persisted across the profile rebuild. So that does not seem to be a solution to the issue.
