Thunderbird Contacts & Ca...Calendar with Thunderbird
Mozilla Thunderbird is a free and open-source email client that also functions as a personal information manager with a calendar and contactbook. It provides an easy-to-use interface to manage calendars and contacts. We use the test@dynu.biz email account as an example in this tutorial.
After launching the Thunderbird email client and adding your email account, click on the calendar icon on the top left side of the client interface, then click on the New Calendar button.
The calendar is hosted on Dynu's CalDAV server on the internet so choose On the Network and Next.
Use the below settings anc click on Find Calendars to continue:
- Username: Your email account username. In our case, test@dynu.biz.
- Location: https://collaboration.dynu.com
You will be prompted a window asking for the password. This would be the email account password. If you do not see this windows, look behind currently opened windows as it may be hidden.
Once the calendar is found, you may click Subscribe to finish adding the calendar or click on Properties to edit the calendar features such as the name, color or how often the calendar refreshes.
Once you have the calendar ready, you can right click on a date to create a meeting by using the New Event Option.
You may fill in the meeting details and invite attendees and click on the Save and Close button to finish creating the meeting. You can mouse over the event to see the event details.
