Right now, time division in day/week view seems to be set to 15 minute intervalls.

If I want to "Drag&Drop" Events to different times or drag the start/end times intuitionally with my mouse I can only do so in multiples of 15 minutes (e.g. only drag to XX:00, XX:15, XX:30, XX:45)  :(

I really want and need 10 or 5 minute intervalls. This is also possible in Outlook or Evolution.

I went through all settings in Thunderbird, googled and tried to find Add-Ons, however, I have not found a solution for how to do this.

Can someone help me out please?

Thank you so much in advance. With this, Thunderbird would be the perfect calendar for me.

Go to options on the menu and in the calendar preferences set the Default event and task length to the setting you desire. I have mine set to 5 minutes.

Thank you for your reply.

I tried your solution, but it seems to apply only to newly created events.

I want to drag start or end times to positions multiple of 5.

E.g. in the image, when I click and hold the border of the event I can drag the end time to different times. But it only lets me drag to positions multiple of 15 minutes. What I would need is, sticking to the image example, to click the border and drag the end time to 18:50. Currently it only lets me drag to 18:45 or 19:00.
