Been using this successfully for years - thank you!

However,....Yesterday all the calendars created pop-up boxes asking for a password to link to Google accounts. Two of three worked fine, but one now keeps pointing to the wrong account. I have tried unsubscribing and adding a New account several times with the same result.
For example:
Locate Your Calendar box: ri...@gmail.com
Select calendar box only offers: wr...@gmail.com (and this is always the same wrong account, never the other account)
If I select the wrong calendar in Properties dialog box it shows: googleapi://ri...@gmail.com/?calendar=wrong%40gmail.com

How can I unlink wr...@gmail.com from ri...@gmail.com com in Provider to point to the right account?

Same here. A few days ago my two Google sessions required re-authentication, but worked fine after.

Today, after modifying an event in the mobile calendar app over the weekend, the Thunderbird/Lightning calendar kept showing the old time of the event plus an event reminder. It was impossible to get the reminder out of the way (neither option of 'Event has changed on the sever. Submit anyway/Discard changes?' worked; the popup kept coming back immediately) I removed the calendar and tried to re-add it to no avail. Even after removing all Google calendars, shredding the calendar-data/ directory and re-installing the Provider for Google Calendar extension I still have the same problem: adding the calendar asks me for a session. None is active, so I enter my email address and am then presented with a calendar list of the other Gmail account without asking for a password.

How can one completely reset this extension?

Did anyone find a solution to this? 

I am having the same problem now over multiple accounts. 

Thanks

I created a new profile yet the problem persists. One workaround is to share the calendars of the other Google account with the main account and then only sign up for that one (after which you can subscribe to all of them). 

I had to create a new TB profile to get this working since Google Calendar Provider was always pointing to my other account. In other words, the workaround may be rather annoying. It would be nice to get some feedback from Philipp.

Deleting accounts in the password manager worked for me.

Worked for me too... thanks!!
I deleted the entries linked with the calendar plugin, then on reboot TB asked me to sign in for calendar, i first signed in to one account, then closed the second window, rebooted TB again and then logged in to second account...

I solved the issue by unistalling and reinstalling the Google Calendar Provider

Hi, was having the same issue and removing/reinstalling the google provider and lightning did not fix the issue. Something I found is that while you are adding the new calendar, you change the capitalization of your email ID, thunderbird will ask to authorize the access to the account again and that resolves the issue. After that you are being shown the right calendar account corresponsing to your email ID.

Hope this helps somebody else !
Mario.
