Google calendar syncing issues

Post by azz00 »

Hi everyone,

I am currently having a few "strange" problems with Google Calender and Lightning.

Firstly, I am using;

Provider for Google Calender 2.7
Lightning 4.0.4.1
Thunderbird 38.5.1

Now, last week some of my calenders stopped syncing. I couldn't figure out why so I removed all of the calenders from Lighting and tried to start again.

Entering a new calender into Lighting;
The problem I have is if I enter 12345@whatever.com, enter the password for the account, it then asks which calendars I would like to display from that account. However, whats listed is for another account?! I.e. 22222@whatever.com?

This has happened over multiple accounts now and on different computers?

I am completely stumped as to what to try next?

Thanks

If I understand correctly, you have accessed one or more calendars for 12345@whatever.com and would like to access calendars linked to 2222@whatever.com?

In Thunderbird, go to the "Calendar" tab.
In the left sidebar, where are listed all calendars, right-click in an empty spot and select "New Calendar".
Then do (sucessively):
– First window: click "On network". Then Next
– Second window: "Google Calendar". Then Next
– Third window: click on the button (under your existing account), then enter your second address: "2222@whatever.com".
You will then see the Google Oauth password window, then you'll see the series of calendars attached to that address.
