keeps asking for passwords to calendars today out of the blue - what do we do to fix this - we are all using this on Postbox.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.0.2).I'd love to find a solution for Postbox, but I fear that it might be using a too old version of the Mozilla Platform. Version 0.32 no longer works since it was using an old API, and version 1.0.2 only works on Gecko 24 and up. I believe Postbox 3 is using Gecko 7.

I was nearly put off by some reviews in November 2014 saying that it wasn't working. There may have been some issues with a change in google but the latest version is working for me.
I write the calendar events from my laptop to google so my smartphone so sync with google so I have my appts on the move.

Works well for years, but now it's not working, maybe becouse of Google API changes.
Please fix this brilliand addon!

I've used this for over 5 years and rely upon it. It is brilliant but since recent changes it doesn't work. I think it is google's fault so I've only marked this as 3 star. Please fix it so I can give it 5 stars and don't have to start killing kittens.

It is a great add-on and I have used it for years. Unfortunately it no longer works for me. It stopped working after the 1.02 update. I removed the add-on and account and then set it up, but it stopped working again a day later. I really hope that the dev can fix this issue as it is the only add-on of its kind and is an incredible time-saver when it works. (At the moment I have reinstalled an older, stable version, wich works fine, but look forward to the day I can upgrade to a current version).

letzte funktionierende Version ist 0.32! Diese funktioniert weiterhin wunderbar.
++ Die Versionen 1.0.1 und 1.0.2 sind nicht zu gebrauchen! ++
ACHTUNG für dieses Add-on die automatische Aktualisierung ausschalten, sonst installiert er sich jedesmal wieder die nicht funktionierende.

Stopped working the last couple of days, however it looks like it's been updated and requires you to delete your calendars and add them back again. Seems to work again now, with an updated system - hope it is stable (not sure from other comments below).
Has been a good system for using Google Calendars with Thunderbird for a long time, so hoping that continues with this update.

As of today's update, the google calendar provider doesn't seem to be working any more.
Edit: You have to delete all of your google calendars and then add them back to Thunderbird.

Sehr nützlich. Läuft wieder einwandfrei seit heute, 8-Nov-2014.

I used this addon for a long time and it recently added task synchronization support too. But now it doesn't allow me to directly add my google calendar using "New Calendar -> On the Network -> Google Calendar", because it conflicts with the other addon "Thunderbirthday"!
There are 2 solutions:
1. Disable thunderbirthday, Add your calendars, Reenable Thunderbirthday when finished.
or
2.What Shelku said:
2.1. New Network Calendar
2.2. Format = iCalendar (ICS), Location = Private address in ICAL format (NOT XML FORMAT)
2.3. Restart TB
2.4. This addon will automatically detect your readonly ICS calendar and will ask if you want to upgrade it to a r/w google calendar

I've been using this for years and love it!
Lately I've been having more trouble with it sometimes not showing anything from my calendar. I also can't add my Google Calendar directly because it doesn't let me click OK to finish creating it - I can only add it as ICS and then let Thunderbird upgrade it:
1) New Network Calendar
2) ** iCalendar (ICS) ** mode (with XML link from Google Calendar)
3) Restart Thunderbird
4) Click to upgrade the calendar

Philipp hi, this is extremely important. Without offline support this extension doesn't worth much.
Any coming fixes?
Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Thank you for this Add-On, I use it since long with lightning.
Since some days I noticed that there is no entry anymore and I read here about it. I just needed to delete the google calendar in Lightning and recreate it, then I was asked to allow the Add-On to edit the Google calendar and again it worked.
It is a new system now, previously access was through the XML string in the calendar settings on google, now it is through a session string I guess.

Thanks Phillip! Your latest version has been much more stable than the previous ones you built after google changed the playing field.
My latest glitch this morning:
(read/write) events calendar on Lightning disappeared
Hovering over calendar name gave Message: "Calendar not currently available."
After a few minutes, I double clicked on it to activate and completed the automated sign-in process.
The calendar then became UNCHECKED, so had to RE-CHECK it. The calendar synced and re-appeared.
Thunderbird 31.2.0; Lightning 3.3.1, Provider 1.0.2 Windows 7

Since a long time there is absolutely no function anymore at all. Also contacting the developer made no sense.
It works again! I deleted my calendar and set it new again, and all my data is back available!

This is an absolutely cracking add-on. Other peeps have put out there just how much everyone has come to rely on it. And I mean RELY.
I know it was originally googles fault in combination with the upgrade from 0.32 to 1.0.whatever, but it really isnt working.
I have several different machines all accessing two different gmail accounts - Xubuntu laptop, lubuntu netbook and a Win7 laptop. They have all, between them, got all of these errors reported below. I cant write to the calendars (Win), I can see new appointments but not all 'old' ones esp if recurrinng (Xubuntu) etc etc. 1.0.2 has not fixed those. My Android seems to be the only thing that can see and write to everything (No TB).
PLEASE help Philip. You dont know just how usable your add-on makes our lives. Having it not working, is like trying to walk to the car with no legs !
I think the issues are only with existing installations. I suspect that a clean install works fine if you are out there looking for a great add-on. But that doesnt help the existing users who are going to loose access to all their old appointments and reminders etc . . .

Am I the last one for who it is still not working at all?
My agenda comes back sometimes, totally or partially (the worst case), and then disappears again.
Please say something. (v1.0.2, thunderbird 31.2.0 MacOS Yosemite)

I was not able to delete my calendar (i.e. as accessed by Lightning) as the delete menu option was grayed out. However, by adding a task list to the calendar, it then gave me the option of deleting the calendar, which I did: looks like a bug in Lightning. I then selected the New Calendar menu option etc and the calendar returned in Thunderbird.
