Hello first sorry if this has been posted before and I missed it.

Been looking for an alternative email client since Microsoft is changing over to their clunky web mail app in windows.

Been trying out Thunderbird (version 115) added my Outlook/Microsoft account which works fine email wise but the calendar does not show up. I can add the same account or my google account to say EM mail or mailbird and the calendar shows/syncs up s in those programs effortlessly.

Does this not work the same in Thunderbird or do I need some extra plug ins? I seen trying to share and export the ics file but I just want to sync it like any other program.

Thanks for your help

Google calendars can be added from File/New/Calendar..., On the network, enter your gmail address. Google Contacts can also be added as a CardDAV address book. For Exchange/Outlook calendars (and contacts), use the TbSync/Provider for Exchange ActiveSync add-ons, which are expected to be available for TB 115 around the end of this week.

It does add when you add your account, if you select the correct option when you add the account, but I agree that at that point it is not all that intuitive. Perhaps offer some feedback here https://connect.mozilla.org/
