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](https://cloud.disroot.org) 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:
1. Select the option **CalDAV**
2. In the location field, paste the link of your **Disroot** Calendar that you copied earlier
3. Select *Offline support*, if you want to keep a local copy of you calendar, in case you need to work offline
4. Press *Next*

|:--:|
|If you have multiple calendars in your **Disroot** account, just repeat this process for each calendar.<br> You can use a different color to each calendar to set them apart. This method works for any **Nextcloud**/**ownCloud** provider out there.<br>Additionally you can sync any calendars form any provider as long as they support caldav protocol (check with your provider for more details)|

## 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.

![](en/thunderbird_12.png)

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
