Google Calendar (bidirectional) working really well with CalDAV
---------------------------------------------------------------

If you are still using Google Provider 0.9 to access your Google Calendar you should be having A LOT of problems right now.

I would recommend to switch to CalDAV following this google instructions

Thunderbird -> File -> New -> Calendar -> On the Network -> CalDAV (Paste link here)

Your CalDAV link for a particular calendar should be something like this:
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/ (HERE PASTE YOUR GOOGLE CALENDAR ID) /events
Google Calendar ID could be found below on any individual Calendar Settings options.
Remember to replace the "@" for a "%40" without quotes when you paste the ID.


Eg. it would look like this
https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/fhoasdasdasdasqnefhm330t2c%40group.calendar.google.com/events

Thunderbird will request
username: Google calendar email
password: Password of this email

CalDAV also syncs my colored categories :)
