I suppose I could set up a new profile with just my primary Google account to see what happens there, but I would not be able to see what might happen to the legacy address book and calendar.
SYNC OUTLOOK CONTACT GROUPS WITH GMAIL FULL
Setting up a full new profile would be a lot of effort. On the new profile, my current profile has five different IMAP email accounts active and several address books. So I don't need to move immediately, but it seems prudent to find new options. My worry is that, over time, something would stop working if the add-ons are not being maintained. I am guessing that is because it is set to allow previous configurations to continue, but I could not add any new accounts or make any changes. Thanks.Īctually, my TbSync seems to continue to work even without that setting.
SYNC OUTLOOK CONTACT GROUPS WITH GMAIL HOW TO
Neither add-on is very clear to me on how to deal with such a transition. Or perhaps it is best to just leave them both. I assume if I uninstall TbSync and the associated WebDAV add-on, the calendar previously synced will still be there, and it might conflict with the new one created by Provider. For Provider for Google Calendar, it is not clear what is best. Once that is working fine, I could probably go back and delete the old Thunderbird internal address book previously synced from Google. I guess I could import my Personal Address book, and I hope that would not create a lot of duplicates.
I would probably not import that old Google-related local Thunderbird address book. That suggests I could start with the address book by simply telling TbSync to stop syncing the address book, and then letting Cardbook create a new address book from my Google account. In moving to the new add-ons, should I first delete the old calendar and address book, and let the new add-ons sync from Google to start? I don't want to lose anything.Ĭardbook says the address books it creates are completely separate from those within Thunderbird. Many of the contacts in my Personal Address Book are also in Google since I uploaded them a while ago. I now have a separate address book named for my Google account, and also a separate calendar named for my Google account. I am just wondering about the transition. Now that TbSync has stopped supporting Google, it seems like I should move to CardBook and Provider for Google Calendar, both of which seem to be fully supported. I have been using TbSync for some time to sync both calendar and address book from my Google apps account. I have a question for one of you who have experience with these syncing options. Yet, when I view the add-on in Thunderbird, after installing it, the granted permissions are merely, "This extension doesn't require any permissions." Quite a stark difference! So, which is it?
What am I doing wrong? Any help here is greatly appreciated!Īs a final point of note, I second 's sentiment that the add-on requests "Unlimited permission to Thunderbird and my computer". The "Enter account information" modal/dialog remains open in TbSync, and if I click "Next" again, I'm taken through the same process, over and over. I sign-in, accept the 2FA prompt on my phone, and then nothing further happens. With these settings, TbSync launches the Google sign-on process in a modal/pop-up. User name: XXXXXX (should this be my actual Google account password, or an "App password" generated specifically for this purpose?!)ĬalDAV server address: (I've also found resources that suggest "events" instead of "user" as the last segment, but who knows.)ĬardDAV: I'm just leaving this empty, for now, since I have no idea what purpose is serves. Provided all of these disclaimers are false, and TbSync does in fact work with Google Calendar, I'm wondering what to enter into the following fields when configuring CalDAV via TbSync:Īccount name: Google (seems arbitrary, so we'll run with this) Last, and certainly not least, the installed plugin states, specifically, in the add-on info: People in this thread (and many others) suggest/confirm that TbSync works with Google Calendar, but the following reference pages make no mention of such support:įurthermore, this URL lists "add support for Google" as a wishlist item: I'm hopeful that somebody might be able to explain how to configure the TbSync plug-in for Google Calendar integration.įrom what I understand, TbSync provides a CalDAV implementation, but I can't figure out what, exactly, to enter into the input fields when configuring a CalDAV connection.
