This works great. I have not had any problems and it is very easy to use.

I've not noticed any of the slow down some other have mentioned. Then again, I just started using Google calendar so I've not had any problems with it so far.
Great plug in, recommending it to all my co-workers who also use Thunderbird.

A number of people have had problems with Thunderbird slowing to a crawl with this add-on installed. I had the same problem. As a temporary fix, I put all my calendars in "read-only" mode for normal use. When I need to edit, I deselect the "read-only" and edit away. A bit cumbersome, but it works for now until this add-on can mature a bit.

seems to work great when syncing calendars, however, it also appears to slow down thunderbird and when typing an email or just maneuvering around, it seems to cause thunderbird to stall for a few seconds.

Great extension!!
I would like to have the option to set the notifications by sms instead of popup, too.

I ask you to add an opportunity to establish notifications by SMS through Google calendar

i like the ability to sync between lightning and google calendars. however, it slows thunderbird down and causes it to stop responding every 30 seconds for a few seconds which is very annoying.

Grand merci pour cette extension

great new update!! especially like the ability to add labels!
Found a bug though, when creating an event from an email to a google calendar I keep getting a cannot update error and when I go to my google calendar in lightening it is locked, I unlock it and try to add the event again and again my google calendar gets locked.

I'm really disappointed that (in Ubuntu) Provider 0.5 does not work with Lightning 0.8 and enforces Lightning 0.9 which makes problems in Ubuntu. The addon should be backwards-compatible at least with the previous version of Lightning.

I am very frustrated with this version. So I upgraded now now matter what I do I cannot create entries. I have deleted and re-added calendars. The worst part is that is it no possible to go back to a previous working version. Thunderbird gets an error. There also seems to be limited support. I know it is free but this is really dissapointing.

Oh, nice plugin. The only major things missing from it are 'one click adding of calendars' (minor) and caching to speed things up (major).

Johan Hellstan: I'm not sure why I'm posting this to help someone who is so intemperate about a free add-on to a free piece of software being used to access a free web service.... but here goes.
Google changed the text. You now want 'calendar settings'. To get to the calendar settings click the little down arrow next to the calendar you want.
You'll see some icons, right click to copy the XML link.

I had some compatibility issues switching to version 0.5, the calendar that I created using the old version of the provider is now unusable and I had to create another calendar (the synchronization, by the way, worked perfectly), it's just that I had to create another calendar...
@ Johan Hellstan:
if you need some help installing just visit http://bfish.xaedalus.net/?p=239 there you'll find the procedure explained step by step and with screenshots

As the previous reviewer mentions, reminders are not working properly with this latest build for any calendar synced with google. There is also a 10 minute default reminder which cannot be removed -- although at the moment it is unclear whether this is a google issue or a thunderbird or a provider issue. all i can say for certain is that the 10 minute reminder cannot be removed from google calendar's site even with thunderbird disabled -- this however could still be caused by provider giving google a corrupted reminder of some sort.
Further information -- I can confirm that a newly created calendar does not face this issue -- there is something wrong with reminders on shared calendars -- and it may very well have nothing to do with provider access. I can also confirm that if you move an event to a non-shared calendar, the default incorrect reminder goes away.

Great Add-on.
We are 2 persons sharing a calendar.
There are minor bugs, but I can recommend it!

I am sorry to report this... I love Google Provider and Lightning... BUT... After installing Lightning 0.9 with Google Calendar Provider 0.5, the reminder alerts do not go off anymore for Google Calendar events after switching views (Calendar to Mail). They are removed from the calendar in Lightning, but they
are still active in Google. Home reminders alerts still work as expected.
All this worked perfectly well before upgrading to Lightning 0.9/Google Provider 0.5 (I have a laptop PC with Lightning 0.8 and Google Calendar Provider 0.4, and everything works as expected there).
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Calendar, Update an event that is a Google Calendar event, set a
Reminder, save it.
2. Everything seems to work, a small bell is shown in the calendar page.
3. Switch the view to Mail.
4. Switch the view to Calendar.
5. All the small bells have disappeared! Home calendar events still have the
bell, though. It only affects events that are synchronized with a Google
Calendar.
Actual Results:
All the small bells have disappeared! Home calendar events still have the bell,
though. It only affects events that are synchronized with a Google Calendar.
Expected Results:
The reminders should still be there. Now they are all set to "No reminder" in
Thunderbird. However, they have been accurately updated in Google Calendar
(they still have the reminder set there, if you go and check them on the Google
Calendar web site).
This behavior happens after upgrading. I mean that the Google Calendar settings
were previously introduced. In fact, everything else seems to work pretty well
with the integration between Lightning and Google Calendar. It is just the
reminders that are no longer working. It is annoying since you rely on
reminders to be aware of events and tasks. Reminders are a MAJOR FEATURE of
calendaring software!
I don't know if the problem is with Lightning 0.9, with the Provider 0.5, or with Thunderbird itself... but the combination renders everything much less valuable...
Please see if you can fix this. Thanks a lot!!!!
