Thunderbird calendar auto synchronization

fflipp

It seems that I often need to close Thunderbird and reopen it in order for the calendar information to update. The source information is usually coming from Google Calendar.

Synchronizing from the Thunderbird calendar sidebar does not help. Neither does closing the Thunderbird calendar and reopening it. Only closing and reopening the entire Thunderbird app works.

Any suggestions?

Same problem here.  Running 102.15.1 (64-bit) /  Google Provider 115.0.2

I found a solution here:   https://github.com/kewisch/gdata-provider/discussions/497#discussioncomment-5218326

I've managed to workaround the bug without rebuilding or reinstalling. Just run in the console (Tools -> Developer Tools -> Debug Addons -> Provide for Google Calendar -> Console) following line:

await messenger.storage.local.set({"settings.idleTime": 0})

After executing this line, one must restart Thunderbird. From now, the calendar sync should work correctly.

@fflipp, can you change the title to "often need to close Thunderbird and reopen for the calendar information to update"?
