The Provider for Google Calendar also allows access to Google's task lists and there are some extra features in the Provider not available via CalDAV, for example setting SMS reminders. For some people, the Provider for Google Calendar works better than CalDAV. However, CalDAV support has improved with time and now offers a pretty complete Google Calendar experience. The Provider predates Google Calendar's CalDAV support and was initially recommended because it was more stable. Why should I use the Provider, and not access via CalDAV? So anyway.Yup, I usually check any guides available to see if I might have missed anything. In Thunderbird, find the Calendar area in the left-hand sidebar. I really want to like Thunderbird but it just seems to be kind of a mess. I am trying as hard as I can to avoid subscribing to Office just to get Outlook but so far haven't found a 3rd party email/cal/contacts app(s) that (1) meet my needs and (2) actually work right. Ironically, I can get Oauth credentials from AT&T, which is otherwise awful, but not Google).
Doing some research I tried TbSync and whatever-the-extension-to-that-that-works-with-Google-is-called (I forget) but it wants, I guess, some sort of OAuth credentials and I have no idea how to get those from Google (I don't have a Cloud account, don't want to and know nothing at all about Google's APIs which the online resources I've found all talk about.
It's there but I don't see any way to connect it to Google. So that's useless.Īnd I don't know how to get contacts working at all. So far email seems to be working OK (I think) but I can't get the built in calendar to work right - it seems to connect and lists all ~10 of my Google calendars but only actually shows like maybe two of them. All I've set up so far is my main Gmail account (I need to be able to access a number of different email accounts on several different servers but am starting with just my main personal gmail account to keep things simple). After trying several email clients (including paying for them) and getting annoyed I am back to trying Thundebird with the new 91 release. So after trying to switch from Mac to Windows at home earlier this year I am still having issues with finding a Windows 10 email/calendar/contacts clients(s) that don't suck.
