A very useful add-on. Used it with TB 2, I'm downloading it for TB3.

Does this version support offline access to your GCalendar?

If the download link doesn't work for you ("Add-on not found"), try the Sunbird page:

Mark L: "This extension allows Sunbird and Lightning to read and write events to a Google Calendar."
Somehow, I feel, that this implies that either Sunbird or Lightning is required.

Also, I got this to work by following the instructions on the listed homepage. I first tried to your instructions on Google's page, but this resulted to infinite update loop when adding items to calendar (bug perhaps somewhere).

Worked quite well so far (although my testing has been a bit limited)

It would seem it is possible to sync Google Calendar with Thunderbird. You WILL require the Lightning Add-On. It sure would have been nice if someone published the answer instead of the vague "I know but you don't" reply...
So here it is:

Substitute Thunderbird for Sunbird, and the directions work fine.

PS. Save your $10 Provider support fee for a beer.

Sehr nützlich, die Passwortabfragen via CalDAV zum google-Kalender sind einfach unerträglich, dieses Problem ist hiermit gelöst.

Very useful to bypass the many password requests when using CalDAV access to google calendar instead.

Talk about useful! I needed this a long time ago.

Only one problem: Lightning supports Tasks, Google (well, Gmail, I guess) supports Tasks... so why doesn't my Google-imported calendar support the creation of tasks? Adding that capability would be a really good addition to this addon.

Mea Culpa

The problem was not with Provider. I reverted to an older version of Lightning and Provider started working again. Currently using Lightning 1.0b1 and Provider 0.6b1 and it works with 3.0.3

Update: I decided to install 3.0.3 and they were correct lightning and google provider do not work with 3.0.3. Do not upgrade if you like Google Provider.

I can either see if I can revert to 3.0.2 or live without calendar function until an update is written. I loved provider when it worked.

Does Provider work with 3.0.3 - some say yes, others say no. When I clicked to download the update, I got a message saying that provider and the nightly updater will not work with 3.0.3. What I have is working, I don't want to mess it up. Any thoughts?

Like David0422 I cannot get Google Sunbird Addon 0.6b1. I now work with the latest nightly built 1.0b2pre for Macs. I guess I will have to wait for the addon to be upgraded. I probably upgraded too fast. Now I cannot connect to my Google Calendar anymore..

Provider for Google Calendar 0.6b1 не может быть установлено, так как оно не совместимо с Thunderbird 3.0b3.

This does work fine. The only issue I had was following the exact directions to add the calendar. Make sure to do that!
Updates either calendar (Google Calendar or Lightning) very quickly. Also, it has allowed me to do multiple calendars from google.

Nice add-on for our Google schedule. It is possible to do something to synchronize the task list with our Gmail account? By advance, thanks for your answer.

The latest nightly build doesn't work with TB 3.0.2.
Are there any solutions yet?

This addon is super!

I've followed the instructions at
http://bfish.xaedalus.net/2007/04/stay-in-sync-with-gcal-and-thunderbird/

using Thunderbird 3.01, Provider 0.6b1 and Lightning 1.0b1, but I can't get it to work. I get the error message:
"The calendar foobar is momnetarily not available"

What gives?

J'ai un peu planché pour la configuration mais cela fonctionne parfaitement chez moi (thunderbird 3 + lightning 1). Ajout d'un évènement sur mon Iphone, un coup de synchro et çà s'est automatiquement répercuté sur Google agenda et Lightning... Test inverse OK également.

Amazing addon, thanks so much. It's been one year of everyday use.

Now, we need (I saw so many people on the Web looking for) a sync for Google taks and TB.
Please!

Good job
