When I select New Event, then click Custom to setup a reminder, a window pops up and at the bottom it says “Choose a Reminder Action”. This says “Show an Alert” If I click on it, there's a drop down box appear with the same “Show an Alert” message in it. It makes me wonder if there's a possiblility to setup a different reminder action, or is it just a querk that the drop down box appears?


Also, in the Tools>Options>Calendar tab (mine says Calendar, but the online help shows it labelled as Lightning? - I'm on Thunderbird 31.4.0) Now within that tab, there's a General tab which doesn't have “Refresh calendars every xx minutes” as it does on the online help. I never switch off my PC, and when I go to the month view of the calendar (my default view), it's often a day or two behind on the highlighted current day.

When I set up or edit an event, then Set up Reminders > Add > Choose a Reminder Action .. the only option is Show an alert. I can no longer choose to Send an email.

In all other ways the calendar works perfectly but this is a real problem.

TB - 38.1.0 Lightning - 4.0.1.2 Using Google calendar (CalDAV)

Help would be much appreciated

I can only select "show an alert" too. I never knew there was an option to send an email. How long ago was that an option?

I can't remember, Issan. I did not use Lightning for about 6 months because it wasn't working at all. When Lightning was bundled in with TB 38 I tried it again. This time it works - except for the email reminder.

If I want an email reminder I have to login to Google Calendar which rather reduces the value of Lightning!
