Yes please! Especially if it can incorporate tasks as well! I'm migrating away from google as much as I can. Using Soverin.net now as server for email, calendar and tasks. On my desktop/laptop I use Thunderbird as the client, but on mobile it's still a lot more complicated (calendar app, thunderbird mobile, tasks.org, davx5; quite complicated)
The lack of calendar on mobile is the only reason I'm still using Outlook on my phone. I'm limited on client choice do to my job. So I'm left with Gmail, Outlook, or Thunderbird. But I need calendar support on mobile as my daily calendar changes by the hour.
I would love to have a Thunderbird Calendar on my Android phone that would synchronise directly with the thunderbird calendar on my Windows Laptop without using Google. At the moment my calendar data is scattered among several calendar apps that I have tried, but did not do the job and it becoming very confusing.
Yes. This is exactly why I am here this evening. I want to avoid using the normal online calendars, and use the same calendar as on my desktop and laptop computers. One of the suggestions by Mozilla is to use one of the 'many calendars' on Google Play, but I am reluctant to do so. I prefer to have an integrated system, across platforms.
Ever since the death of Lotus/IBM Smartsuite, and thus the IBM/Lotus (formerly Threadz) Organizer, I have witnessed gradual loss of functionality, and the Thunderbird calendar is the next best calendar.
I would strongly support the calendar being available on the phone as well. I'm really puzzled as to why it is not already available as it is on the PC version. Then I could (as others have commented) be able to totally delete outlook and google.
I totally support this suggestion. As a relatively new user, I was somewhat surprised the calendar function was not already available on the mobile phone version. Please, please develop it as I want to delete the outlook and google calendars.
I'd argue Lightning (Thunderbird's calendar) for Android should be published as a separate calendar & todo app, with Thunderbird for Android having improved system calendar integration (detect dates, create events from messages etc.) Still, I'd love to see Android calendar from Thunderbird team, I'm pretty sure it would be amazing.
