Dear John, I'm sorry that some Google users have led you to stop supporting those services.
Thank
you for creating TBSync, an extension that I find very useful in my
migration to TB, and thank you for allowing me to synchronize my google
accounts, by to your advice I created the property
"extensions.dav4tbsync.googlesupport" and everything works very well.
I don't work with tasks, I usually put tasks in my calender, and you will argue that this is not so professional.
And I had to deactivate two factor auth and then allow the Thunderbird app to access my calendar. If both is forbidden by your organization, an option might be to forward the emails if the employer allows it - which is of course not really great.
Probably we have to convince the Provider for Google developer Philipp to fix the problem - which is obviously not his fault: Thunderbird developers changed something in the code.
So fingers crossed for us all!
Hi,
Some good news from this side.
I've been in the same situation (TB calender did not sync both or
one of the directions, ...).
I've tried Tbsync and it worked.
Finally I returned to the "Provider for Google Calendar" tool and
got the same issues again as when I left.
But now, since I updated TB to version 78.3.1 and now already
using TB 78.4.3 for the first time in a couple of releases, TB
calender works.
agenda events are synchronised bidirectional.
Make agenda event in Linux TB and get Google calendar updated
correctly.
Make agenda event in Google calendar and get TB calendar
updated correctly.
The same applies when deleting events.
regards,
PS: I'm running on:
- Linux Mint 20.4
- Update by downloading tar.bz2 file and unzipping it in
/usr/lib
Zipped file contains directory Thunderbird
overwriting tunderbird directory in /usr/lib

You can get TbSync to work for google accounts by setting a flag in the Config Editor (Preferences) within Thunderbird
Set extensions.dav4tbsync.googlesupport to 'True' and you will then be able to use TbSync with google accounts again.
None the less, not the best option for us for various reasons
already spoken of :)
