Calendar support on Thunderbird mobile

[SamBouwer]

It would be great if Thunderbird mobile supports calendars like the desktop applications supports calendars.

It would be nice to have and I would happily pay £4.99 for it, which is the same cost as DavX5. Although since I bought DavX5 I'm able to connect my CalDAV accounts to Google Calendar for Android, so that has solved the problem for me at least.

I strongly support the idea to implement a calendar in Thunderbird for Android. Even if all desktop functionalities are not available.

I don't like feeling imprisoned in any specific tech ecosystem either (I'm also moving away from Proton, little by little); it just seems to me like dedicated apps work better than those designed to work with many different ones.

Since TBsync stopped working with Outlook I would really like a syncable calendar as well!

I just discovered this Android app called KashCal that's on F-Droid; it does a really great job syncing calendars from Fastmail to Thunderbird on the desktop and on mobile. Since TB seems to lack this ability, maybe they could join forces with the developer just like they did with K-9 Mail. Just a thought!

I would love if Mozilla made a dedicated app for calendars that would sync with thunderbird ❤️

Yes! That would be amazing!

At first I thought I'd like it as a standalone app but I would much prefer it to be bundled with Thunderbird since it's one less app on my phone and I know people talk about it locking you into one ecosystem but you can choose what email provider to use in Thunderbird. It's not like your locked to only using gmail in Thunderbird lol. I find having less apps on my phone frees my mind up and combining calendar into Thunderbird also just makes sense to me personally.

I didn't realize that there was no calendar access from Thunderbird mobile. I alsodont see a mobile calendar only app got Mozilla, what am I missing here?

Maybe adopt another Open Source calendar? Thunderbird is going to need one, specially with TB pro launch. 

KashCal is a good one with the best UI and supports a lot of providers too!

Just because you have less number of apps it does not necessarily means that you can save on disk or RAM usage at all. So this is not really an argument against a separate calendar app.

On the other hand this would result a smaller codebase which is easier to maintain and also more flexibility since potentially not everyone would want to use the same app for both email and calendar. Some may want to keep their current mail client or calendar app.

Also, yes, KashCal would be a nice candidate for the same assimilation as K-9 Mail had earlier.
