Provider for Google Calendar

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

There is a solution: https://github.com/kewisch/gdata-provider/issues/77 Scroll down to July 25th 2020
In short words : use CalDav instead of the addon.
Make sure that you replace the @ in your email address with %40 in the CalDav-URL
AND make sure you allow Cookies in Thunderbird.
That worked for me, incl two-way-sync for the main google calendar. I removed the addon Provider for Google Calendar after doing these changes.
Some more details, if you have configured your Google calendar to show additional calendars (like bank holiday calendars etc.) or you need Google task integration: that worked for me as well, but only WITH Provider for Google Calender installed. When I had the addon still installed and at the same time configured CalDav for the same Google calendar, the provider-for-google-calendar-addon did come up with the standard login dialog, afterwards I could see the additional calendars in Thunderbird. The CalDav-integration without the provider-addon didn´t show the additional calendars. Maybe you want to do some more testing re CalDav PLUS provider-addon, but as I only needed the main calendar, I stopped after that worked and de-installed the provider-addon.

This review is for a previous version of the add-on (78.0.1).
