Thunderbird with Lightning and Google provider no longer working?

  • 772

I'm using Thunderbird 31.1.12, Lightning 3.3.1 with Provider for Google Calendar 1.0.1 in Ubuntu 14.04

When I try to add my google calendars, I select 'Create new calendar'> 'On my Network'> and select 'Google', I find that the location field disappears as soon as I select 'Google'.

In the next window it asks me to 'pick an existing session or a new session or enter your email address to create a new session'. This is not how it usually functions, (or indeed how it functions on other platforms). Even if I enter my google address at that stage it doesn't successfully find my online calendar.

If anyone can shed any light on this I would be grateful as it's very frustrating at the moment.

Best wishes and thanks!

  1. by chance I did that last night:

    -delete first the old "network calendar(s)"

    -choose new calendar

    -choose google

    -insert your email adress and your password

    a window opens showing you your google calendars

    -choose the calendars you want to syncronize with Lightning

    Done
