The main goal of having your contacts and calendars from Disroot integrated with Thunderbird through your email account is the chance to access them from one place on your desktop.
First step: Installing needed add-ons
In order to sync all your calendars and contacts on Thunderbird, you will need to install the following add-on:
- Lightning: a calendar for Thunderbird
Installing Lightning
In Thunderbird go to > tools > Add-ons
In the Add-ons page on the upper right corner you will find a search bar. Just search for "Lightning". Once Thunderbird finds it for you, press install.
You will need to restart Thunderbird in order to finish the installation.
Integrating calendar with Thunderbird
First login to your Disroot cloud and go to Calendar app. Select options of the calendar you want to sync to Thunderbird. Now, copy the link URL of your calendar. You will need it to sync with Thunderbird.
In Thunderbird you can either go to: File > New > Calendar or go directly to Calendar window and select "New calendar" by right clicking on the calendar list.
Now configure your calendar to sync:
- Select the option CalDAV
- In the location field, paste the link of your Disroot Calendar that you copied earlier
- Select Offline support, if you want to keep a local copy of you calendar, in case you need to work offline
- Press Next
Give your calendar a name and assign it a color if you want.
Then press Next.
And then, finlly press Finish.
Your calendar is now synced with Thunderbird. Any event created in Thunderbird will apear on Disroot cloud and vice versa.
Adding events with multiple calendars
If you have multiple calendars in Thunderbird, when creating an event you need to select to which calendar it goes to, otherwise you maybe end up looking for it online in the wrong place.
If you right click the calendars in Thunderbird you will have a set of options, from:
- Show or hide a Calendar
- Export Calendar
- Unsubscribe Calendar (remove it from Thunderbird)
- Making it read only (in Thunderbird)
- Synchronize Calendar
