Add-on is not working on sunbird 1.0b1. Can it be updated?
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7).Rated 5 out of 5 stars
An additional feature that would be great is if this ext would handle webcal, ical, etc and send it to Thunderbird/Lightning or Sunbird or even via gCal

I always use "security -> password" in Thunderbird to passwordprotect my e-mail. But since I installed the (exellent) add-on "Provider for Google Calendar" Thunderbird always asks for the password twice. Is there anyway you can solve this bug? Otherwise the program syncs my Google Calendar perfectly! Really a great add-on in combination with "Lightning" (add-on).

You can find a version that works with Sunbird 1.01b here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/4631/
It is version 0.6b that you want for 1.01b.

Once installed and configured it works like a charm. I was little stumped at first because I'm still new to Thunderbird. Thunderbird opens my Firefox to get the plug in and then Firefox tries to install it into itself.
Once I found the way to install into Thunderbird it installed just fine.
Then I had to figure out how to link my Google calender. Following the instructions on the http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:GDATA_Provider site helped me to configure the plug in for my calendar. The https tip worked great and allows me to edit my Google calendar without having to launch a browser.
Great plug in.

I love this addon, it is almost a requirement for lightning, however some changes have bothered me.
This forces me to send invitations from the gmail account associated with my calendar for some reason. I keep my work calendar on gmail, and people that I invite to events find it strange that I am not using my work email to send them an invite. There appears to be no way to select the account to send invitations from. This plugin needs some options.
Thanks for fixing the google calendar invite-link crazyness, it now is back to sending a good ol' invite attachment.

Major bug with TB 3.1, lightning 1.0b2 and Provider 0.7 - no alarms will work.
Editing the event won't save any details (Category, Alarm, etc).
I did try deleting and re-adding the calendar, still no alarms...
Still giving 5 stars because when it works, it works very well...
Help!!!

This is exactly what I've been looking for. Downloaded both the version for Lightening (for T-bird & Sundbird, but like the Sunbird best.) Great add-on.

Freezes Thunderbird for me. Same thing on Sunbird. Too bad, because that makes Lightning/Sunbird useless to me. There's a bug, but someone marked it invalid. I'd really love to have this functionality, so if it gets fixed that would be awesome!

Great product and I use it every day connected to my business. I'm a Mac guy however I just don't like iCal . Sunbird and Google Calendar are just perfect for me. I've just give Philipp Kewisch $10
Take care

I have been using this for about a month and just when I was ready to rely on it full-time, I started finding tat the calendar is getting reliable updates from the Google calendar.
Sometimes the calendar is blank, other times I see items but get errors when I add, edit or delete entries. the only views that seem to work are for "today" and "this month"
going to a future month does nothing, the calendar doesn't even refresh.
I realize that this is Beta software and I appreciate the effort, but it has a long way to go in terms of reliability. What is the time table for the next beta or RC ?
Thanks!

Great capability!
Just one problem: when opening the calendar off line, it shows an empty calendar!

I love the bi-directional bit of it. The thing I miss is that since integrating Google Calendar in Thunderbird I can't use my tasks anymore. Since the calendar doesn't support tasks. But actually GC does, but the sunc is not built in yet?
or is it. if not it would be on my whish list.

Works great! Thanks for the add-on!
Do you know when the Tasks in Google will be accessible with this add-on?
Thanks again!

I love the app so far. I had issues with the reminders with the google version of sync for Sunbird. Thanks, Philipp.
The reason I'm writing this tho', is to clarify the "Accessing your calendar" instructions for newbies like me. I had no idea what Philipp was trying to convey until I went to google's site (http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=37648) and read their instructions.
In order to obtain your calendar's "private address" follow step number one as Philipp advises, but then...
As suggested by google:
1. In the calendar list on the left, click on the down-arrow button next to the appropriate calendar, then select Calendar settings.
2. Select the XML or HTML button on the calendar's settings page. A pop-up window with your calendar's private URL will appear.
3. Use this URL to access your calendar data.
Personally, this was a lot easier to comprehend than Philipp's directions. But like I said, I'm a newb! Thanks again Philip.
