Running Thunderbird on the latest Mac OS. After the thunderbird update to 38.3.0 I can no longer create new events on my calendar (lightning 4.0.3). I can see the 'New Event' selection when I right click on the calendar screen - but is greyed out and unselectable. Any help will be appreciated.

Make sure your calendar isn't read-only. Right-click the calendar in the left pane - Properties

I have same problem, and so when I right-click the calendar, then click Properties, nothing happens! Also, only one of my several calendars shows up in that left pane. Also, the actual calendar info doesn't show up, just the mention of it in the left pane!

Can anyone help?

Here's my info and symptoms......

OS 10.7.5 TB 38.3.0 Lightning 4.0.3.1

Yesterday all was well. Then last night, I Quit TB, closed MacBookPro, it slept overnight. Today, I opened MBP, launched TB, and this time, suddenly, no more calendar or calendar tab showing up.

  • View > Calendar: Calendar is greyed out.
  • Events & Tasks > Calendar: DOES open a Calendar tab, but no calendar shows, except the mention of only ONE of my several calendars in the left-hand sidebar.

If I Ctrl- or right- click that calendar mention in left-hand sidebar, then click Properties or Show All Calendars, then nothing happens from either of those.

  • I CAN export any/all calendars to .html, .ics and .csv, via Left/Ctrl-clicking OPEN white space in left-hand sidebar, then clicking Export Calendar, at which point is lets me choose any of my several calendars from which to Export.

What to do!?

Thanks! Ted
