I'm moving from outlook to TB, and I want to sync my ical (phone) calendar with TB. All the articles say I need Google calendar provider add-on, but it does not work with the newest version of TB (52.3.0 august 16, 2017). My Ical is on the cloud and I have Lightning enabled. What do I do?

Thank you, Lori

Try deleting/removing the Provider add-on then installing it afresh.

I know there is a version of Provider, and there really has to be, as this is a mainstream version of Thunderbird. If you had been using a pre release beta version then yes you could expect trouble.

I beta tested this version and it had the proper version of Provider at that time. I always check it against a Google calendar.

But, wait. Is iCal a Google calendar? I think not. "iCalendar" is one of the built in protocols and you shouldn't need Provider.

Thanks Zenos. Ical is not a google calendar, but everything I've read says i need Provider to bridge between Ical and TB. Is there a way to directly link? I tried creating a new calendar in TB ICal format, but it requires an address and ICal only gives https://www.icloud.com/#calendar. When I put that in, the calendar is empty. It's not accessing my Ical without sign in. Do you know how I can directly link Ical to TB? The only way I've seen is Provider. Error on Provider is the following:
