-# Syncing Contacts, Calendars and Tasks with Thunderbird
+# Thunderbird...
+... is a free and open-source multi-platform email client and personal information manager with news, RSS and chat client integrated.<br>
+We will learn how to connect your **Cloud** contacts, calendars and tasks to **Thunderbird** in order to manage them from one place in your desktop.
 
-The contact, calendar and tasks features in **Disroot Cloud** can be connected to an email client like Thunderbird allowing emails, contacts, tasks, calendar to be managed from one place in your desktop.
+# Installing Thunderbird
+If you do not have it installed, go to [**Thunderbird** page](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/) and select the download for your operating system and language. Additionally, if you use a GNU/Linux based operating system you will almost certainly find it in the software manager of your distribution.
 
 
-# Installing the necessary Add-ons
+# Configuring a calendar
+## 01. Getting the calendar address
+To configure a calendar in **Thunderbird**, you will need to know its address first.
 
-In order to sync all your calendars, tasks and contacts to Thunderbird, you will need to install the following Add-on:
+- Login to the **[Cloud](https://cloud.disroot.org)**
+- Go to the **Calendar** app
 
-- **CardBook**  -to sync you contacts
-- **Lightning** - is already pre-installed in Thunderbird (should be already installed by default in Thunderbird)
+ ![](en/calendar_select.png)
 
-**Install CardBook**
+- Select or create a calendar you want to sync.
+- Press the **"three dots"** button to the right of the calendar.
 
-- Go to the **Display Thunderbird menu** button on the the upper right corner
-- Press the button **Add-ons**
-- Go to extentions on the left bar
-- You will find a search bar. Just search for **"Cardbook"**, when Thunderbird finds it, press install.
-- Restart Thunderbird
+ ![](en/calendar_select_02.png)
 
-![](en/01_thunderbird_install_addons.gif)
+- Press **Copy private link**. The address will be saved in the computer's clipboard.
 
-If for some reason you don't have the **Lightning** add-on pre-installed in Thunderbird. You can follow the the same process as above to install it.
+ ![](en/copy_link.png)
+
+- You will see the next message:
+
+  ![](en/link_copied.png)
+
+A good way to verify that we have the URL copied properly would be to paste it into a notepad, check it and save it. With this first step completed, we will now move on to configure **Thunderbird**.
+
+## 02. Configuring Thunderbird
+- Click on the **Calendar** icon at the top right.
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_01.png)
+
+- Right click on the calendar list and select **New calendar**.
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_02.png)
+
+- **Create New Calendar** process will start. Select **On the Network** (the calendar is stored in the cloud).
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_03.png)
+
+- Select the **CalDAV** format and enter your username.
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_04.png)
+
+- In the **Location** field, paste the link of your **Disroot Calendar**, the one you previously copied from the **Cloud**. Select **Offline Support** if you want to keep a local copy of your calendar to work offline. Press **Next**.
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_05.png)
+
+- Give a name to your calendar. You can also assign it a color and enable/disable reminders.
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_06.png)
+
+- Then press **Next** and then **Finish**.
+
+  ![](en/tb_calendar_07.png)
+
+- You will be prompted for your credentials:
+  - **Username:** *Your_Disroot_username*
+  - **Password:** *Your_Disroot_password*
+  - You can select the option **Use password manager to remember this password** so you don't get asked for it every time you connect.
+  - Press **"OK"**
+
+  ![](en/tb_credentials.png)
+
+Your calendar is now synced with **Thunderbird**. Any event created in it will appear on **Disroot Cloud** and vice versa.
+
+- ![](en/calendar_sync.png)
+
+!! Note<br>
+!! If you have multiple calendars in your **Disroot** account, just repeat this process for each calendar. You can use a different color to each calendar to identify them. This method works for any **Nextcloud** provider.<br>
+Additionally you can sync any calendars from any provider as long as they support **CalDAV** protocol (you can check with your provider for more details).
+
+## 03. Adding events
+- Right click on the date you want to add an event.
+
+  ![](en/add_event_01.png)
+
+- The **New Event** window will open. Now you can assign a name to the event.
+
+  ![](en/add_event_02.png)
+
+- Add or create a category for the event.
+
+  ![](en/add_event_03.png)
+
+- Select to which calendar the event goes to (useful in case you have multiple calendars and you want to avoid end up looking for it online in the wrong place).
+
+  ![](en/add_event_04.png)
+
+- You can also set:
+  - If it is an **All day Event**.
+  - The **Start** and **End** of the event.
+  - If you want/need the event to be repeated and how often.
+  - Set a reminder for the event.
+  - Add a description, attachments or the attendees' names if it is a meeting, for example.
+
+  ![](en/add_event_05.png)
+
+Once you've done, click **Save and Close**.
+
+  ![](en/event_added.png)
+
+### Additional options
+If you right click a calendar you will find a set of options:
+
+- Show/Hide Calendars.
+- New Calendar... (To add a new one).
+- Unsubscribe Calendar... (To remove it from **Thunderbird**).
+- Export Calendar...
+- Publish Calendar...
+- Synchronize Calendars.
+- Properties of a Calendar.
+
+  ![](en/additional_options.png)
+
+# Tasks
+Tasks are automatically synchronized when you integrate a calendar into **Thunderbird**.<br>
+Any task you create in **Thunderbird** assigned to a calendar will be synchronized to your **Cloud Tasks** app and vice versa.
+
+# Contacts
+To integrate your **Cloud** contacts into **Thunderbird** you will first need to install an add-on called **CardBook**.
+
+## 01. Installing CardBook addon
+- Go to **Tools** and select **Add-ons**.
+
+  ![](en/cardbook_01.png)
+
+- In the **Find more extensions** field write **cardbook** and press Enter.
+
+  ![](en/cardbook_02.png)
+
+- Select the **CardBook** add-on and add it to **Thunderbird**.
+
+  ![](en/cardbook_03.png)
+
+ **Thunderbird** will download the add-on, ask if you want to add it and finally ask you to restart.
+
+  ![](en/cardbook_addon.png)
+
+## 02. Adding a remote Address Book
+The process is pretty similar to the calendars integration. First you need to get the link from the contacts in your **Disroot** account.
+
+### Getting the Address Book URL
+- Go to the **Contacts** app in the **Disroot Cloud** (1)
+- Then go to the **Settings** (2) (the 'gear' icon in the bottom left-panel) and click on the **three dots** button on the right of the address book you want to synchronize.
+
+  ![](en/contact_address.png)
+
+- Select **Copy link**.
+
+  ![](en/link_menu.png)
+
+The URL is now copied in your computer clipboard and, as it was suggested before, it is better to save it, you will need it in the next step.
