#THUNDERBIRD EMAIL SETTINGS FOR GMAIL HOW TO#

I now have a separate address book named for my Google account, and also a separate calendar named for my Google account. I am just wondering about the transition. Now that TbSync has stopped supporting Google, it seems like I should move to CardBook and Provider for Google Calendar, both of which seem to be fully supported. I have been using TbSync for some time to sync both calendar and address book from my Google apps account. I have a question for one of you who have experience with these syncing options. Yet, when I view the add-on in Thunderbird, after installing it, the granted permissions are merely, 'This extension doesn't require any permissions.' Quite a stark difference! So, which is it? What am I doing wrong? Any help here is greatly appreciated!Īs a final point of note, I second 's sentiment that the add-on requests 'Unlimited permission to Thunderbird and my computer'. The 'Enter account information' modal/dialog remains open in TbSync, and if I click 'Next' again, I'm taken through the same process, over and over. I sign-in, accept the 2FA prompt on my phone, and then nothing further happens.

With these settings, TbSync launches the Google sign-on process in a modal/pop-up. User name: XXXXXX (should this be my actual Google account password, or an 'App password' generated specifically for this purpose?!)ĬalDAV server address: (I've also found resources that suggest 'events' instead of 'user' as the last segment, but who knows.)ĬardDAV: I'm just leaving this empty, for now, since I have no idea what purpose is serves. Provided all of these disclaimers are false, and TbSync does in fact work with Google Calendar, I'm wondering what to enter into the following fields when configuring CalDAV via TbSync:Īccount name: Google (seems arbitrary, so we'll run with this) Last, and certainly not least, the installed plugin states, specifically, in the add-on info: People in this thread (and many others) suggest/confirm that TbSync works with Google Calendar, but the following reference pages make no mention of such support:įurthermore, this URL lists 'add support for Google' as a wishlist item:

I'm hopeful that somebody might be able to explain how to configure the TbSync plug-in for Google Calendar integration.įrom what I understand, TbSync provides a CalDAV implementation, but I can't figure out what, exactly, to enter into the input fields when configuring a CalDAV connection.
