Setting up a new calendar in Thunderbird with the lightning extension installed seems relatively straight forward. (create new calendar, chose "on the web", select "caldav", ... ) However, the process then requires the URL / webaddress of the icloud calendar with which I seek to sync.

How do I find this?

What are the next steps in the process, including using 2-factor authentication and an app specific password generated via apple/icloud? Can I use the same app specific password I used for setting up icloud mail in Thunderbird ? or do I need a second app specific password?

Once all setup and working, can I switch off 2 factor authentication in icloud without harming the by then working sync process with icloud?

thanks for your help!

Yes, this is the best solution I found out there as well. Works well. Pay attention to inverse the client ID and calendar ID when implementing the solution.
