This is a great addon that worked without any hassle in Thunderbird 115. That being said, I've added my GMail email account, and it looks like Thunderbird handles calendar & contact sync natively. I'm not sure this plugin may be necessary anymore.

Need this add-on to sync my google tasks (not calendar). Works good; just hesitating to update to the new Thunderbird 115. Is there any experience already if it works smoothly?

Does not synchronize reliably (misses new appointments created on other devices, even though they already appear in calendar.google.com). Manually selecting the "synchronize calendar" option does not help. Unusable in this form.

Thank you for this addon. Works great for multiple calendars.
I have a request though. Please add a time option to google tasks. You can only create all-day tasks.

Almost!
This provides easy set up of Google calendar with task support in Thunderbird. However, as others have mentioned, calendar event reminders cannot be dismissed. This makes the feature quite unusable, unfortunately.

Mostly wanted to use it for tasks but they stopped syncing after a day for some reason uwu

This is so far the most reliable add-on for google calendar. But it comes with a bunch of bugs related to calendar event reminders. I'm waiting for the bugs to be resolved.

Did work until recently very well, now I had to delete this add-on because in Version 102.11.2 and the version before it slowed down my TB, made it unusable and I could synchronize my Google Calendar also without it - only "Google Tasks" are no longer synchronizable.

Works well both ways, thank you. Could you please add time sync for Google tasks and other fields supported (like tasks.org)? For now tasks are shown as all-day events only, without any options to set the time

This works well; both ways. I just checked. Thank you so much to the people writing the program. Thunderbird 102.10.0 provider for google: last update November 13, 2022

I installed this in the latest T'bird. I did get a notice from Google "Provider for Google Calendar was granted access to your linked Google Account". It did duplicate my "home" calendar on T'bird with one using my Google email. But it didn't actually do what I needed it for, make my T'bird calendar entries visible on my phone's Google calendar. It just doesn't sync, though it did pull in one entry I made from the phone onto T'bird. So it's basically broken.

I give it three stars at present for being a uni-directional tool. It syncs from Thunderbird's calendar to Google's calendar fine. It does NOT sync from Google calendar to Thunderbird's calendar. Thus, I have to be careful to have orphaned listings in Google that I forget about. Happy to upgrade stars when it becomes bi-directional.

Dates imported from .ics files show the right time prior to importing, but are added to calendars with a wrong time (+2 hours for me). This issue has already been reported to your github page in February.

Sorry as other have written the synchronization has taken its toll and essentially locked up Thunderbird doing just small actions. If you update the add-on please let us know.

due to massive synchronisation problems that constantly result in thunderbird freezing, the programme is unfortunately no longer suitable for fluid work.
I was very satisfied until december last year.

I installed this on recommendation to gain additional functionality in sync with Google Tasks.
What I did notice after a while was the Calendar was not updating existing entries when changed outside of Thunderbird. The synchronise calendar function seemed ineffective.
Only when Thunderbird was recycled, did it make an attempt to aligning its copy of the calendar with that which was shown on Google's server.
In the end, I disabled the plugin, which removed all the calendars, so I reinstalled Thunderbird to restore the calendars that were setup during that install.
It did get the Task functionality I sought, but the cost was too high, so I continued with my previous work-around.

Works well, but I might notuse it as extensively as most might with many changes to calendar items.
The reason for 4 stars is the reminder does not always allow me to dismiss appointments, not sure if its a Thunderbird / add-on issue. Its as easy as just closing the popup window though.

Why does this add-on require full access to my entire computer. That's a big nope (for ANYTHING requesting that level of access).
