hi, all. &nbsp;we are setting up some laptops, and venturing into using google, thunderbird, lightning for the first time. &nbsp;we have everything working nicely, using the demo setup, but the one snag i can't get past is that it looks like you can only see your calendar when you are online. &nbsp;i have downloaded the provider for google calendar and installed it as an add on in Mozilla (as well as the lightning add on). &nbsp;it works just fine when i am online, but if i disconnect, close and reopen thunderbird i lose the calendar. &nbsp;did i set this up wrong? &nbsp;do i need to set it up in a different order? &nbsp;create a new shared calendar and d/l it? &nbsp;<br />

thanks for your replies<br />

Thunderbird is an email, newsgroup, news feed, and chat (XMPP, IRC, Twitter) client that supports POP and IMAP and LDAP address completion. The vanilla version is not a personal information manager, although the Mozilla Lightning extension adds PIM functionality. Thunderbird can manage multiple email, newsgroup, and news feed accounts and supports multiple identities within accounts. Features such as quick search, saved search folders, advanced message filtering, message grouping, and labels help manage and find messages. Thunderbird incorporates a Bayesian spam filter, a whitelist based on the included address book, and can also understand classifications by server-based filters such as SpamAssassin. Extensions allow the addition of features.
