Sync’ing Google Calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird

Posted on June 1, 2008 by

So you want to keep your desktop calendar synchronized and visualized through Mozilla Thunderbird because you just can get used to using something like Google Calendar’s web interface?

Look no further than the Lightning plugin for Mozilla Thunderbird along with the Win32 Provider add-on for Google Calendar for Lightning / Sunbird.

So how do I use them all together?  Check out this blog entry…

Note that there are updated providers for Lightning and Sunbird… for the latest, check out http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/

I’m using the 0.4 version of the provider for Google Calendar with Lightning integration in Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0.0.14 with Lightning 0.8 and so far I’m liking it.  The only thing that I’ve found isn’t working is the Invite Attendees functionality – otherwise, pretty tight integration.
