With Thunderbird, it's possible to have multiple calendars. During email account setup, your existing online calendars can be automatically detected. Or you can set up new calendars in Calendar Mode or Task Mode.
Connect to your online calendars during email account setupAfter setting up your existing email address with convenient auto-configuration, Thunderbird will now automatically detect your remote address books and calendars based on the user information you provided.
When adding a Google mail account to Thunderbird, you can easily add your existing Google calendars and address book (see Notes).
Note:If one of your Google calendars is not found or not accessible, it might not be set up for syncing. You can choose which calendars Google will expose in your
Google Calendar Sync Settings. Unfortunately, Google does not support tasks through CalDAV.
Creating a new calendarFrom the Calendar Tab (not the sidebar):
Now you need to choose whether you want to create the calendar "on your computer" or "on the network".
On your computer - local calendarsWhen choosing "On my computer", you can only use the calendar on the computer you're working at. All the data is stored inside an internal database (the file local.sqlite in your Thunderbird profile).
When choosing "On the Network", your calendar files may reside on general webservers (read-only), on WebDAV or CalDAV servers, on the local filesystem or a network share, or you could use your Google calendars.
In the next step, Thunderbird will show you a selection of available calendars.
You're able to subscribe to calendars provided by third parties, mostly in ics format. These are almost always read-only; you won't be able to change anything for the calendars. An example of this kind of calendar are the holiday calendars provided by Thunderbird.
