MX-19 Repository: The Thunderbird Thread

Yeah I know.. I read a few hopeful messages which made me decide to pinch the nose and plunge in. It was some icy water alright!

I wager I will stick with this 68. Just another reason to be careful with upgrading. I know how to get the old one back and I made a backup right before I tried. Not everyone knows what to do and how to.

I tried a 78.5 upgrade in a VM that had my .thunderbird folder installed and it all looked good. If I'd lost my lightning, I'd have said something.

Lightning seems to be installed ok (I get to see the calendar in the calendar tab).

The calendar file is there, grayed out, but I cannot select it. The text with it states something is wrong with an extension IIRC. When I go into the add ons I get that not compatible message on the aforementioned.

Just to be clear, your lightning calendar still works but the google calendar does not. I just did another test upgrade from 68.12 to 78.5 and my lightning is fully functional.
I remember the warning about a bunch of add-ons being killed moving to the 78.n series so the google calendar must be in that mix.

I see there are 3 add-ons for google calendar in my 78.5 and I added all 3 and could probably get to a google calendar if I had one.

Have you checked to make sure all 3 addons are added and enabled?

[Eadwine Rose]

3 add ons? No I only have those I mentioned before, lightning and that one that gets not compatible.

I haven't looked that far, no. Just check for 'google calendar' in there? Ok then.. I can tinker around and see if I can get something

[Eadwine Rose]

OWH!

Whahahaha I searched, calendar. Another 'provider for google calendar' appeared that didn't say it wasn't compatible, clicked install, checked and whap, working. Calendar checked and active.

NAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH


I still think the icons look like crap though, compared to the 68 one.



Oh.. that was short lived. My calendar is now gone. I closed TB, reopened and gone.

And solved. Had to remove them and re-add.

Let's see if it sticks on a restart.

Nope, had to readd and reinstall the calendar provider.. now it does seem to stick. WEIRD..

Agreed.
This is why I installed the extension "Phoenity Icons for Thunderbird".

[Eadwine Rose]

Thanks for that. I will leave it as is though. Less added to it is less that can error out :)

I just tried PGP in TB 78.x.x, and as advertised, set up was a breeze.

[Gaer Boy]

Upgraded to TB 78.5.0 with no problems. The only add-ons installed were Quicktext & Manually sort folders. I've since installed Phoenity Icons the familiar appearance is more comfortable. Calendar printing is still broken - no display of calendar colours. I'll get used to the different way of entering cc & Bcc in time.

Package Installer Version of Thunderbird is, as we know, still 68.12.0 for some reason.
Though my Enigmail-Addon was lately upgraded to 2.2.4 (Stable Repository).
Enigmail 2.2.4 is NOT compatible with TB 68.12.0.

Will the Enigmail version be corrected to a compatible version in the Stable Repository soon?
