Support for Thunderbird
dessalines opened this issue · comments
There are a few of us that would love Thunderbird support.
I didn't plan support for Thunderbird, but it looks like quite some people want it. I explored the possibility a bit, but it looks like there are a few technical difficulties. Modern add-ons (WebExtensions) don't have access to the filesystem, which is crucial for DecSync. However, it is also possible for an add-on to communicate with a program on the computer, so that may be a solution. I will look further into it.
Update on the approach: I think a storage plugin for the CalDAV/CardDAV server Radicale, similar to EteSync is an easier and more universal approach. I don't have a lot of time right now, so it won't come very soon, but it is feasible.
It might be of use, TbSync, from there repository.
Introduction
TbSync is a central user interface to manage cloud accounts and to synchronize their contact, task and calendar information with Thunderbird. Its main objective is to simplify the setup process for such accounts. The following providers (protocols) are currently supported:
CalDAV & CardDAV, via DAV-4-TbSync [compatibility list (DAV)]
Exchange ActiveSync (EAS v2.5 & v14.0), via EAS-4-TbSync [compatibility list (EAS)]
About: Provider for CalDAV & CardDAV
The Radicale plugin is finished! See Radicale-DecSync for the repo. This means that it should be possible to use DecSync wit Thunderbird, among others.
How do should I import tasks to Thunderbird lightning?
If i add the task link for the Radicale web frontend the added calender is remains disabled.
