I use to be able to put in a seach term and search all events (prior, current and future). Now I am forced to choose only current and future events. Why the change? Can I change Setting to allow for searching all events again?

Hello Is it possible and how to search the calendar for all events, even those that have passed. Currently I can search only: today's, events that will occur in 7, 14, 31 days, 6 and 12 months, this month, this day or visible. Sometimes I need to find an event that has already passed 2-3 months ago and the quick search does not find it. Your Outlook competitor searches in all events without any problem. Is it possible to search in all or maybe there is a plug-in?

So, when can we expect a fix to the search parameters on Calendar? I use this feature ALL THE TIME, and am shocked that no one asked us whether to delete it.

The same thing happened to my income tax software - a major change without notice before OR after, and it threw off a multitude of users at the beginning of las tax season.

Thanks for an otherwise great product over the years!

Lightning had the ability to search the entire calendar for an event, sadly, this new iteration of the calendar built into Thunderbird 128.0.1esr doesn't support anything but today or later events.

Most of the time I use the calendar to search for a previous event (when I was previously somewhere). This is very important and an oversight on the part of who thought the search from now until the end of time was all anyone would need.

Can the functionality be returned to search every event and not just from today onward?

Recent Thunderbird auto-update to 128.1.1esr (64 bit). Now unable to search past events in Calendar. Find Events now relates only to current or future events. Previous to update I had the option to search 'All' which meant I could easily locate previous entries in Calendar, which I use as a diary and aide memoire. Settings provide no solution. Am I able to revert to a previous version kitted out with the 'All' option, perhaps? Please help. Diolch yn fawr i chi.

Greetings.

I am using Thunderbird 125.0 (32-bit) on a Windows 10 PC (Windows 10 Home Version 22H2).

Within its Calendar interface, the Find Events function has no option to search all events, as shown in the attached screen shot.

Although I do not use this "Search All" functionality frequently, I do consider it essential.

Unfortunately, I am uncertain when it became unavailable. However, I suspect it was sometime within the past several months.

Thank you in advance for any clarification you may provide pertaining to this issue.

Hi Everyone!

I am currently on Thunderbird 115.10.1 (64-bit) and for a few days now, I can't open the calendar tab. The "Today Pane" is working and showing events though.

When going to "View" the items "Calendar" and "Tasks" are greyed out though.

Any idea on how to get the calendar back? The company will move us all to Exchange and Outlook soon, so I thought I might "survive", but it is pretty impractical have to open my calendars separately in the browser. You only notice how often you use something, when you don't have it. ;-)

Hello,

Has anyone an short tutorial how to integrate/install the icloud calendar and contacts into Thunderbird with the latest version? I searched the Internet, but found only older information.

Thanks in advance,

Hello Team,

Hope you are doing well. I just installed Thunderbird email client and have imported my Yahoo Mail account into thunderbird. Further, add-ons TbSync and Provider for Exchange ActiveSync have been installed too.

However, I cannot add yahoo calendar. I have tried creating New Calendar and proceeded up to the steps - "On the Network ; paste yahoo calendar URL etc and the bottleneck seems to be yahoo credentials are not accepted. Please help.

Also is there a way to combine my hotmail, yahoo and gmail calendars into "one" Thunderbird calendar? I am not sure if calendar events from the 3 email providers are comprehensively included in my view today. Appreciate your guidance on this too!

Many Thanks, Amlesh

Hi!

With the new release Support for TBsync was removed or has changed and isn't working.

And we really enjoyed the convince of TBsync with Cal- and CardDAV.

As we are having our own small Mailserver we already have experience with the Autoconfig XML File.

And here comes the real Question:

Do you have something similar like Autoconfig but just for the Cal- CardDAV stuff? If not and not even planed please fix TBsync. In case you have something - even if you consider it "Beta" - give it to me, I try any way :).

Somehow I was running an unsupported ver 129 on a Win 10 system, not sure how. I was getting a warning message at startup. I decided to install the latest supported ver 128. I did that over the ver I was running and did not save, export or rename anything. Just one install over the other. I have lost my calendar that I spent months building. Did I lose it? Any possibility it is still around hiding somewhere? Help please, but I am prepared for the worst for being hasty in my decision. Cheers, TR

Witam Czy i jak można wyszukiwać w kalendarzu wszystkich wydarzeń, nawet tych które mineły. obecnie moge wyszukiwać tylko: dzisiejsze, wydarzenia które nastąpią w ciągu 7, 14, 31 dni, 6 i 12 mc, w tym miesiącu, w tym dniu lub widoczne. Potrzebuje czasem znalesc wydażenie które mineło juz 2-3 mc temu i szybka wyszukwarka go nie znajduje. Wasza konkurencja Outlook bez problemu wyszukuje we wszystkich wydarzeniach. Czy jest możliwość wyszukiwania we wszystkich lub moze jest jakaś wtyczka?

I saw a post about creating a calendar event directly from email ([https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../1091761]) and it mentioned using

Right Click-Convert To-Event or Task

However, I do not see that option. The post is archived so I cannot followup with the original posting.

When I first opened Thunderbird (just a few weeks ago), I noticed that some Calendar Tasks were already set up by Thunderbird. (My standalone calendar is Efficient Reminder).

But I don't see options for REMINDERS - popups (preferably) and/or sounds. (The purpose of a calendar for me is to be reminded to do things.)

I searched for options in Thunderbird, and I looked on the information here, but can't find anything.

If I can I select a sound and/or popup to REMIND me, where can I find the option to set it?

As many have noted, this change eliminates the ability to search for past calendar items. It was a useful ability, especially for interval checking (say, "How long since my last dental hygiene?") but for many other tasks as well. Search of past events needs to be reinstated, if not in the previous manner, then in another - and sooner rather than later.
