I was using 'Provide for Google Calendar' some years now without any issue. But today suddenly it stopped to sync three calendars of one of my two Google accounts. I couldn't change, delete or create new events via Lightning any more. When checking the Google account in Lightning in the small dialog window where a Google account can be selected this add-on seemed not to be able to contact this particular Google account. My other account still works fine. Since the account which stopped working was using still the old nomenclature 'googlemail' I tried to go for 'gmail' for the same account. Surprisingly after having put in the same account but just by using gmail instaed of googlemail everything was fine and the three calendars of this account are working as before.

I've exactly the same problem than Tom Leonard. I can syncing to receive events, but i cannot send to Google Calendar from Thunderbird with lightning.

*UPDATE!*
As mentioned by Snow99, the Workaround to TB Update 52.0.1 by Nighthawk published on April 27, 2017, WORKS! THANKS to both you.

Have enjoyed using this in conjunction with google tasks sync but following latest update I cannot add tasks to my google calendar and am presented with a message asking me to select a calendar that supports tasks - which of course mine does. Frustrated user now, not sure how to get beyond this...............

Hello. I have been using this add-on for a while with success but as of a few days ago I haven been unable to send or receive events. Maybe it's similar to q149409mvrht. I live in a country where I need to use a VPN to access Google so thought it was that but I can log in to Gmail in my browser no problem (with VPN on.
The "sign in to your account" pop-up opens when I start Thunderbird (doesn't normally). If I log in to Gmail there it makes no difference. If I close that pop-up all my existing events in Lightning become invisible.
Hoping for a fix soon :-)

*UPDATE!*
I used the workaround mentioned in:

I have been using this app for ages, I cannot imagine running by daily business without it.
Lately I experienced some problems with app, which drive me nuts. For example - I can subscribe a Google calendar, which someone shared with me (It is added to my Google account), but I can't see/subcribe my primary calendar. Or I can still subscrive someones Google calendar, even that that person canceled acces given to me.

Honestly, I would pay (reasonable price, of course) for a version without those bugs,

I really appreciate this add-on. It's essential to the way I run my business,

Following update to version Provider 3.3 / TB 52,* I can no longer communicate changes to the Google calendars, These events include dismiss an event, Change an event or add a new event . I downgrade to TB 45.8.0, Lightning 4.7.8 and Provider 3.1 and the problem was fixed.

Another challenge with Provider 3.3 is when setting up a new connection. I have two separate Google accounts, each with a number of calendars. During the connection dialog, the email addresses show up correctly, but the calendars shown can be for the wrong account. Regardless of the account chosen, the calendars are for the last account in the list.

For now, I've turned off automatic update.

I'd love to get to the bottom of this. Can you contact me via the support email?

Hello,

I use this app for a long time, with great success and without problems.

But this morning an authentication popped up for google calendar, no problem filled it out all good.

After some rerun I understand that I need cookies enabled to login with success - here starts my problems

while investigation of the reason for this, I recognized an exception for google.com is added to allow cookies!

and my big concern is, that it is not httpS://... it is http:// !!

I do not understand why all data that is so privat is ever send through http instead of https!

I would be really please if you could answer me this question.

summary:

why does it force http://google.com cookies enabled ?
-> believe it is needed for the authentication storage, okay
BUT why does it not use https://google.com ?

Greetings
a otherwise happy user of your application

Thanks for the report! This might actually be why the cookie exception is not at all working for anyone. The data is sent via https initially, then Google displays the login window which for their own sake I believe is also https. I'll investigate this and release an update that makes the right exception.

Great extension. I use it to synchronize 8 calendars on two different Google accounts. However I have experienced one issue recently. On one Google account, I have added a read-only calendar and used a Google function which is to add a default alarm to all these events. With that, all events on this read-only calendar have a 3-hour alarm.
Both on Google Calendar itself and on my phone (using Business Agenda on Android), I can dismiss those alarms without problems. However, on Thunderbird, I can't. Is there a solution?
Right now, I made a work-around: I imported twice the same calendar in Google and have set alarms on only one of these. I use the one with alarms on my phone and the one without on Thunderbird. Not the most elegant solution.

BTW, I have Thunderbird 53B1 with integrated Lightning on Windows and Provider... v. 3.3.

This is a limitation in Lightning, but there are bugs filed to fix it. I hope to get to it soon!

After an upgrade to TB52, the extension will pop up a login to google windows, with the email address as username. The "NEXT" button, however, is ignored, so I cannot enter the password.

I suppose it might be a bug with the popup itself: switching my gmail account to Oauth2 in the accounts management for the main program shows the same popup with the same problem. But ther is no way tell the Provider to use the stored password instead.

Edit:
Thanks for the feedback. For the record, this is happening on a Linux FC25 box.
