I am running Thunderbird 31.2.0 and Lightning 3.3.1. I have two google accounts, one with multiple calendars and one with a single calendar. I set up all the calendars with CalDav and they worked properly for a while. Then I started to get the password prompt when Thunderbird started up, so I dutifully entered my password in every one of the popups and the calendars all worked. Today, I got a single popup, and I entered the password. Now 2 of the 6 calendars associated with this gmail account are synching, but the other 3 are greyed out, do not synch and cannot be "turned on" because they immediately switch to "off". The single calendar associated with the other gmail account also turns off immediately and does not synch. I switched from ical and provider because it seemed it was becoming obsolete. I've deleted and re-established my 7 calendars so many times I can do it in my sleep but it's really not the ideal method of maintaining the linkage between Thunderbird and Google. Any help for this situation would be gratefully appreciated.

You probably set-up access to the remote calendar files via http:\\servername\file ? Check access via a browser by using the access definition as an url. My guess is that it's probably a WebDav access problem. Provider has changed access definition by switching from http to https?. Password has been altered? There are a number of problems that can occur but TB / Calendar won't show them. Using a browser will.

I'm not using Provider. I'm using CalDAV. When I set the calendars up they worked perfectly for a few days then some, but not all, stopped working. I reestablished a calendar (checking that the calendar id was identical to the one that failed, and it started synching again. I do not believe it's something malformed in the url, and the password has not changed. FYI the url is
