Hi Shaunak, glad you liked this post. Which feature are you missing in Thunderbirds calendar system? To be honest: Thunderbirds calendar is one of the main reasons I stick to Thunderbird, because I can sync calendars on my on servers with WebCal and TbSync. Even Outlook doesn't have that feature... Don't have any experience with gmail calendars though...
Hey Andreas,
Sadly for work I have to sync my gmail calander and a Microsoft Exchange account, and the only way to do this currently is with the Lightning addon, which sadly isn't as robust with syncing as my colleagues would like :) -- especially on a VPN. Sometimes I miss last minute meetings. I'm sure there will be a setting to improve the polling rate etc. but I switched to Outlook recently and I've been fairly happy. But your post does inspire me to switch back - maybe this weekend!
I see, I'm sorry that it didn't work for your setup. Calendar support is now integrated in the Thunderbird core (no add-on necessary anymore), maybe it's worth to give it another try with the current Thunderbird 78?

Oh wow. I didn't know that. Will do!
