Enabling google calendar on thunderbird (solved)

michmanbiker · posted: 2017-05-25 20:48

Hello, I have picked up an old laptop and installed antix 32 bit on it. it runs fast and stable but I need to get my google calendar working on Thunderbird.

I seem to have issues with oAunth2. I managed to get the mail account and the contacts working that way, but not the calendar. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Michel

Just curious since Thunderbird does not come stock installed on AntiX.

Please post

Code: Select all

inxi -F

readout and tell us if you used the Meta Package installer to install Thunderbird in AntiX or how you installed it.

Good morning and Howdy and Welcome to AntiX. __{{emoticon}}__

Thanks,

I think I downloaded a deb. I don't care for Thunderbird per say, I need a mail client for imap accounts, hotmail and gmail. Very important to have a gmail calendar integrated too. Is there another program that will do?

idunno, I'm not a gmail user.
Can hope some some maven comes along and finds this topic, or...

Made it work but adding some repos and reinstalling

Just for info . In case you did not know. Probably would be best to install thunderbird from the meta package installer. Since MX packaged it up for us.
