Hi everyone!

Coming from Evolution I'm used to having the calendar events and contacts synchronized from CalDAV and CardDAV to the Gnome calendar and contacts app. Especially the calendar integration is really helpful for keeping up with daily meetings. Now with Thunderbird the calendar inside Thunderbird works great, but it shows "No events" in the Gnome calendar.

Ubuntu 22.04 Gnome Calendar: 41.2 Thunderbird: 115.0 (Mozilla Thunderbird Snap for Ubuntu)

I'm using Snap on Ubuntu, but I'm open to moving to another installation if that would be helpful. I'd LOVE to see this fixed somehow, or suggestions to getting this to work with any external tool that either integrates with Thunderbird or runs in the background, so no Evolution :-)

Thanks all and have a great day!

Hi Matt, thanks for your answer. I don't think Gnome is connecting to any server by itself. The idea is that Thunderbird accounts are added to Gnome by Thunderbird. (so Thunderbird is the CalDAV/CardDAV client and all events/contacts should be pushed to Gnome)

After some more searching I found this 11 year old (!!) bug. Hopefully it will be picked up by the developers. It would be such a huge improvement to the overall experience of using Thunderbird on any Gnome desktop like Ubuntu.
