It's great when it works. But, it RARELY WORKS!!! And, how do you get support for it? I tried filing a bug for it, and clearly no one is listening.

No writeable calendars for google calendar. This problem has been persistent for months. It makes the add-on non-functional for professional or work settings, and has been pointed out many times over. It just doesn't work anymore.

Je viens de passer à la dernière version de Thunderdird, et je viens de perdre mes 5 calendriers professionnels !!!!!!
Cela m'est déjà arrivé, et il n'y a pas de moyen de faire un rollback !!!!
Quelqu'un peut-il corriger rapidement les problèmes d'interconnexion avec Gmail ?????

Can't make appointments in Thunderbird 78.7.0.
When I try to save, nothing happens and the window will not close. I have force close Thunderbird to close the appointment window.

I was really annoyed - I use Thunderbird 78.7.1 for Mac and the AddOn in version 78.0.1. I use various Google calendars both privately and professionally, all of which I had integrated during the initial setup. After restarting Thunderbird, the programme no longer displayed any calendar contents, only a constantly "busy" cog was turning. Calendars were listed but had no content. In the forums mostly desperate people wanted to go back to TB 68.
My solution: deactivate "Provider for Google Calendar" in the Thunderbird AddOns (do not uninstall). There is then a prompt asking whether the calendars should all be de-registered - I cancelled this, but the whole thing was then deactivated anyway (seemed like a bug to me). Then activate the add-on again with the slide switch - the contents of the calendars are displayed again. Now restart Thunderbird completely - then everything works fine. Somehow the add-on needed a kind of restart.

Le téléchargement du module donne des fichiers ZIP et pas de commande pour l'installation...donc ré(install) impossible...
So sad, what a pity...

No longer able to reply to event invitations and adding them to calendars on TB. Get message saying there are no writable calendars.
Calendar properties no longer have option to associate/edit email address.
Please, update!
Thanks very mch

Changing event in Thunderbird will erase all participants from event in Google. Dismissing event notifications also will update event and erase all participants.

Works reasonable well for me (TB78.7 on OpenSUSE 15.2). Sometimes a little slow and not all features are working. I tried CALDAV but this is much worse. Most entries only show up after a long time (30 min or so) and may disappear again afer a synchronisation.

Funzionava da Dio ora sono mesi che ad ogni aggiornamento il calendario sparisce e bisogna disinstallare e reinstallare Provider inoltre da un pò comincia a dare i numeri quando modifico un evento ricorrente spesso me lo ritrovo esattamente come era in precedenza ... possibile che non si riesca a sistemare una volta per tutte ??? Delusione ...

Used to be a great add-on for Thunderbird, but ever since the jump to 78+, it is no longer compatible. Calendars no longer display by default when opening Thunderbird, and a restart to Thunderbird typically restores all calendars, but eventually they stop displaying again. Notifications for events or tasks no longer appear or synchronize. Reinstalling the add-on and re-subscribing to calendars does not work as the same problems creep back up. It's a real pity, as this add-on made Thunderbird a great Outlook alternative. Now even base Thunderbird can't sync email properly. There is no way to update or edit my Google Calendars from within Thunderbird now. Abandoning Thunderbird and this add-on soon, what a disappointment.

Stopped showing. Selecting and unselecting temporarily solves this issue.
@ Greg, CalDav only works for calendar, not for tasks associated with that particular calendar.

Dommage que depuis quelque temps, l'agenda disparaisse.
Le plus pénible est surtout le fait que sur les évènement avec des invités, dès qu'un rappel s'affiche, la liste des invités est supprimée et de ce fait, l'évènement disparait sur l'agenda des invités.
Pourriez-vous corriger ce bug très gênant.
Cela fait très longtemps que j'utilise votre module est jusqu’à présent j'en été très satisfait.

Dommage qu'il perd les agendas régulièrement. Il faut le fermer et l'ouvrir à nouveau pour retrouver ses agendas

Siempre se nos recomienda tener los programas actualizados para prevenir fallos, pero con este programa, lo siento, si te actualizas, pierdes los complementos, añadiendo los quebraderos de cabeza que te dan, hasta que te das cuenta. Thunderbird, tenia que tener integrado un calendario y direcciones, esto añadiria estabilidad al programa y mayor publicidad entre los usuarios, para no tener que buscar la solución en otros programas. Echare un vistazo al codigo, pero... es que no tengo tiempo de aprender, pero me lo apunto.

Using this addon, I had the unhide/hide after sync bug and I also couldn't accept invites scanned from my emails.
I took the advice from another reviewer and instead used the approach detailed here: https://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2017/07/how-to-setup-thunderbird-for-google-calendar-caldav-read-write-access.html to setup read-write access.
This approach worked perfectly, and I can use all the lightning features in my google calendars with no issue.

David, see my January 19 review. CalDAV is easy to set up.

Hi, I'm a longtime user of Thunderbird/Lightning. The recent inability to write to google calendar is a game-ender for me, and I imagine others. Can anyone recommend a workaround for this? I have not been able to find any solutions. I need to be able to accept calendar invites and be able to modify google calendar from Thunderbird.

Please resolve the continuing issues with Thunderbird read/write access for gmail. Every time I see a supposed fix advertised I attempt the fix and it appears to work for one or two times of cycling thunderbird then thunderbird locks up my entire laptop. It takes a few hours to reconfigure thunderbird calendar so that I can continue to use thunderbird just for email. This is extremely frustrating.
Please, if there really is a way successfully to add gmail to thunderbird, will someone who really knows publish succinct, step-by-step instructions.

Gave up on this add-on.
Just follow the procedure that Greg supplied in his comments on jan 19th 2021 for the CALDAV method.
That works fine.
