SOGo Connector extention provides integration of Mozilla Thunderbird with the SOGo groupware solution. It does this by adding support for remote DAV address books and by adding features to be used along with the Lightning calendar extension.

Calendar (CalDAV) with Thunderbird add-on 'Lightning'

Thunderbird is a free email application that’s easy to set up and customize - and it’s loaded with great features! The Future of Thunderbird. Experience cutting edge features. Provide feedback to help refine and polish what will be in the final release. Download Thunderbird —. Open Thunderbird and press the calendar icon at the top right. Select the + sign beside calendar. Select On the network, then press Continue. Select CalDAV, enter your email address as the username, enter the URL below as the location, then click Continue. If you are someone who actively manages your contacts on a computer or mobile device, you might need “CardDAV.”More importantly, if you wanted your iOS or Windows Contacts to sync with your Zoho Contacts – and were confused when they didn’t– CardDAV is the solution. However, if I add an event in Thunderbird's calendar is does not get copied to Google's calendar (nor to my Pixel). I have 3 Add-ons installed: Provider for CalDav & CardDav, Provider for Google Calendar & TBSync. I'm running Thunderbird 78.2.2 on a Win X system. Thanks for assistance.
