Except when I get back to TbSync, it has retained the settings, and I just have to resync the account, entering my login information to Google (several times) again. All my appts are in Calendar, looks great. Then access TbSync sync, and set up a new Google account, and sync everything. Says I need the Provider for CalDav and CardDav again. Says I need the Provider for CalDav and CardDav. Could now access Tools > Synchronization settings. Reinstalled TbSync again, and this time didn't restart Thunderbird. Now the Tools > Synchronization settings option is available. When I restarted Thunderbird just for good practice, TbSync is still in Add-ons, but none of the three options on the following page to start it are available - lower right corner of window, Tools > Add-on Options, or Tools > Synchronization settings. Can I do a completely clean configuration of Thunderbird, create a new profile, and then simply copy over all Local Folders folder in my existing profile to the new profile, restart Thunderbird, and retain all that Local Folder email? I could then set up my imap email again, it would resync, and I could start this whole TbSync install process over and see what happens? However, I have more than a decade of email stored in Local Folders. So I want to start with a completely fresh Thunderbird as the first approach. I tried unpublishing that old calendar, but it comes back with each restart, still greyed out and not working. TL DR: I am wondering if my problems are related to the old Google Calendar still stuck in Thunderbird from the transferred profile (although greyed out and not working) interfering with the new TbSync and causing all the problems below. However, none of the setup will take across restarts. Thanks, TbSync definetely appears to be the right answer. Help!Īny ideas on how to connect to my Google Calendar with Thunderbird 78?

However, when I then try to create a new calendar, choosing "On the network" as I'm supposed to, there are only "iCalendar" and "CalDAV" options, not "Google Calendar". So instead I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the following: I tried unpublishing it to start over, but after every Thunderbird restart the greyed out Google Calendar is still there. This often happens if you have disabled or uninstalled certain addons." The settings seemed to move over with the profile, since it can be seen in the Calendar dropdown, but when I double-click the calendar the popup message is "The provider for this calendar could not be found. Oh well, done now.Īt this point, I just want to get my Google Calendar accessible. Hi, I just got a new machine, moved my profile folder over, and installed the latest Thunderbird 78 before seeing the warnings about waiting.
