I have recently become a Thunderbird user (115.5.0), and have linked it to my gmail account for email, calendar and contacts (and tasks, but that does not seem to be working).

My calendar within Thunderbird shows a recurring daily event which does not appear in my Google Calendar. I'm not sure how to resolve this issue.

You can see on the attached image, on the right is my google calendar which Thunderbird is supposed to be syncing with, on the left is the Thunderbird calendar, which has all these extra recurring events.

Any thoughts on how to fix this would be gratefully received.

thanks in advance,

Keith

How did you add the calendar, with an add-on or directly with CalDAV? I created a weekly event in TB and it was synced with Google Calendar. The calendar was added with the built-in CalDAV.

Thanks sfhowes,

When I first set up Thunderbird and entered my Google account details, I was asked if I also wanted to sync my contacts and calendar, to which I answered yes.

I have not created any events in TB yet to see if they sync to Google, as pretty much everything was already in my google calendar.

I should add that a recurring event added to Google Calendar on the website synced with the calendar that was already in TB, after a manual or scheduled sync.
