[oS-en] Thunderbird: calendar doesn't sync well with gmail
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I noticed recently, twice, that events in the calendar do not sync completely with the Android calendar, even when clicking on sync. I have to restart Thunderbird to make the events fully appear in the phone. The edit I do in Thunderbird is usually find an old event, select it, copy, go to "today", hit paste, then modify it. After save, check the event in the phone. Well, I changed the tittle, the modified tittle did not appear. And a second event with the same name on another date did not appear at all. Is this known? Using Thunderbird 102.9.1 (64-bit) on Leap 15.4 - -- Cheers Carlos E. R.

I have also noticed events don't work. They don't even show up in the Thunderbird calendar. For years, I had been using Seamonkey and often converted email to events. I recently switched to Thunderbird and found that didn't work.

My Thunderbird is synced to my private Nextcloud, and I have not experienced any problem with then new version. Thunderbird recently got native support for CardDAV. Before, using the TbSync addon, it was less stable. -- Regards Klaus

I am using the sync built into Thunderbird. In fact, this is the reason I switched from Seamonkey to Thunderbird. There was an add in for both to sync with the Google calendar. However, after Google changed the connection security, it stopped working. I then notice Thunderbird could now sync on it's own, but Seamonkey couldn't. The calendars sync, but I have to create the events in the Gmail calendar, using a browser or the Android apps.

and it is not very slow to update? I have not tried it myself, but my wife uses google calendar, and her experience is that it may take hours before updates shared from my calendar, reaches her calendar. (I know that this is most likely another protocol, but still..) -- Klaus

Try clicking on the sync button. I find it works quickly. As I just mentioned, it now appears to be working. Previously, I could create an event from email and it wouldn't even show in the Thunderbird calendar, let alone the Google one.

I am using the internal support in Thunderbird, it connects to Google using Oauth2, and it has not stopped working. My problem is that an event created in Thunderbird appears incomplete on the phone, some details are missing or are old, till I restart Thunderbird. This problem is recent. Across phones or tablets, the events sync almost instantly. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)

i am using Thunderbird 102.11.0 (64-bit) on Tumbleweed with google calendars and everything is working well here. it was also working with previous Thunderbird versions, starting with the release which first supported natively google calendars. i don't remeber which version was the first which supported natively google calendars. before this version, i used different sync plugins to do this, but this didn't work so well. -- Best Regards | Freundliche Grüße | Cordialement | Cordiali Saluti | Atenciosamente | Saludos Cordiales *DI Rainer Klier* DevOps, Research & Development

Could this have anything to do with the issue? https://www.theregister.com/2023/05/11/google_calendar_default_settings/ Leslie -- Platform: Linux Distribution: openSUSE Leap 15.4 (x86_64)

No, that does not seem to be my issue. It's been a while since I've received a calendar invitation from anyone, so I can't test that function, but converting an email to event definitely doesn't work.

I just tried again and it appears to be working now. I wonder what changed.

«In July, the ad giant announced the addition of "an option to display events on your calendar only if they come from a sender you know." The Chocolate Factory's rationale was to provide a way to reduce invitation spam, a persistent concern among those using Calendar or any service that supports permissionless interaction.» No, my events are not "sent", they are directly created in the calendar tab of Thunderbird. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
