Provider for Google Calendar

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

It takes quite a long time to go from one month to the next, during which time Thunderbird will not respond. Yes, it is fetching info from the Internet, but this fetch is much slower than most Web interactions, perhaps because it is doing it on a field-by-field basis.

Ideally, the code would be fixed by somehow working faster. If that is not possible:

1) Create a local cache larger than one month. For me, that would be one month in the past and 11 months past the current month into the future. But since peoples' needs are different, have it be configurarable.

2) Do it in the background so I can do something else in Tbird while I am waiting for the data to come.

3) The Cache would ideally allow me to view and edit my calendar offline, to be sync'ed later.

I will gladly contribute if performance is improved.
