How to add a calendar to the Thunderbird mail

[Avikshit Sinha]

Hi, i am using Thunderbird as my default mail client. Now as we all know by default Thunderbird does not include a calendar for managing tasks and appointments. It creates many difficulties for me. I have seen many people having a calendar in their Thunderbird application. Could you guys please make me know how can add a calendar to the Thunderbird mail and also the way to Customize the theme? I appreciate all your helps.

The Lightning Extension for Thunderbird can do the job well, i think. It is the the calendar manager of Thunderbird, an extension to Thunderbird. This extension allows Thunderbird Lightning to read or write events in Google Calendar. The procedure is very simple since it suffices to define a new network calendar in Thunderbird, Google Calendar, check the calendar list networks that appears, and indicate the flow xml previously collected. Then it only remains to create your event, which will automatically sync to Google Calendar, and you can get on your site.

Installation must first install Lightning. Then you must install the extension "Provider for Google Calendar" Once done, you must click on the icon "Agenda" which was added under the tree "e". Before engage in the creation of an agenda, it is necessary to recover retrieve the private address of your XML Events (in Settings> Calendar> Detail of the Agenda) on "Google Calendar". Then return to Thunderbird and create a new Calendar. The must select options "on the network", then "Google Calendar" and specify the url as the site previously selected.
