Waiting for an upgrade to fix the "offline bug".
Fonction très utile mais ne marche pas en mode offline, car il fait buger thunderbird quand cette fonction est activée.
Bien mais en attente de ma mise à jour

I've been using this for a good year or so now and it's excellent at integrating my Google calendar with Thunderbird. Anything I add, whether it's in Thunderbird, on my phone, iPad or on the GMail website all get synced across all devices.
For the users who complain it doesn't work with 2-step verification and they have to keep entering their password... that's the point of 2 step verification, numbskulls! You need to log in to your Google account and into the security settings and set an application specific password to use! This will be given to you, a 16 digit code that you should use only for one application and can easily revoke by logging in to the same page.
Awesome tool. Many thanks to the developer! :)

It just works, and that's all you can ask for.

This was something I was looking for. Works very well and easy to install.

I'm not sure if the mismatch is due to Lightning's latest update (Dec 2013 as of right now). I get a complete hang within 30 sec of loading Thunderbird, and it just keeps freezing.
I admire the developer's work, and since I I don't have the knowledge to do the same (or edit the extension), I'm now using the Google Calendar Tab which serves my purpose anyway. I can't do things offline but since I want to stay synced with Google Calendar (I use it on my phone, etc.) it's okay. And I'll keep an eye out to any update from this extension.
As always, when something is provided free and it's something I have no way of reproducing myself, I am truly grateful to the developer for having gone this far and all the efforts that have been put in this extension until now!

TB24.0.2, Lightning 2.6.4, Provider 0.25
This used to work perfectly. Now since December, Thunderbird freezes on opening and can only be opened in safety mode. Disabling Provider enables TB to work again. Come on - please fix it - clearly I am not the only one having problems..

Have used this add on for a number of years and loved it. Now not so much. Not all of my events sync and when I add them from Thunderbird they disappear never to be found again. I used this so I could keep up with appointments of other family members. What can be done to correct this problem as it makes no sense to use it if it will not sync all of my appointments or lose my appointments.

TB24.0.2, Lightning 2.6.4, Provider 0.25
even with all other plugins deactivated (not many of them) Thunderbird freezes - before that just nice work!

Is it really that hard to remember a password?
I use two factor authentication and since this addon can't even use the password manager to remember a simple password, everytime I restart Thunderbird, I have to either generate a new application password, or I have to remember/save the application password somewhere, either way it totally defeats the purpose.
Oh well, this addon used to be pretty good. It's just sad to see it fall into such a state of disrepair. I guess it's back to read-only ics calendars for me.

All seems to stem from a beta version (27.0) of Thunderbird. I reverted back to 24.2 and everything is working again, including Lightning 2.6.4. This is still a top-notch add-on but needs brought in line with newer versions of TB and Lightning.

A once terrific Add-on stopped working several weeks ago. None of my calendars read or write to or from Google any longer.
Please fix, and I will be more than happy to revise my review. Thank you.

My calendars stopped working a few weeks ago, after an update. Can't give a positive rating to a product that doesn't work.

I have several events on my calendar that don't show up in Lightning! I'm not sure exactly what is different for these events from other ones that do sync, except that I am listed as an optional attendee.

If this would work I might like it better. It says in the Wiki I can type in an email and password to access a calendar but for the life of me I must be blind. I cannot find anywhere in the interface to enter the email and password in to my other Google calendar.
===
I want to access a friend's calendar I have access too, but I am asked for a password!
No problem! As long as you have this calendar added in the Google Calendar web interface, just enter the email address and password for your own Google account.

It seems to latch on the the Gmail account set up in Tbird which is my business account. I use a smart phone for which I have a separate Google account and I need to sync to that calendar not my business calendar which I never use. I assume the instruction to "access a friend's calendar" is no different than accessing another calendar of my own.
So please some one tell me where I enter this email and password??? As you can see the Wiki says I can but does not have any instructions as to HOW ???
It would seem to me this should be a basic configuration option located some where easy to find!

Thunderbird locks with a screen "access to google calendar" and won't start.
The only way to start is to kill the thunderbird task from task manager, restart in safe mode and disable the google provider. Thunderbird 24.1.0 google provider 0.25.
Please fix!

What's going on? It took me a while to figure out that this addon (provider for google calendar) was rendering my Thunderbird/Lightning unusable/not responding. My google calendar xml URL appears not to have changed from before (I had to go into t-bird registry to see this since I can't enable Provider without crashing the application.)
I've tried killing/restarting countless times. I've removed and re-installed t-bird and add-ons - while not deleting the profile.
Any suggestions??

Like others, my Google calendar stopped working the last few weeks and couldn't find a complete fix. Searched around and found out there were changes made to Google's CalDav URL. This extension provides a fix by using your xml address for the URL. You can find it by logging into your Google calender. Go to Settings - Calendars - Choose your calendar and click on either of the orange xml buttons. Copy that URL and paste it into the URL field in your thunderbird calendar setup.
