The holy grail for Thunderbird users, with the recent update of Thunderbird it’s now possible to use Lightning synchronously with Gcal.
If you’re not sure what Lightning is it’s the Thunderbird calendaring extension. For me it’s been of limited use so far simply because it wouldn’t fully integrate with Gcal. However with the advent of TB2 comes another must have extension, ‘Provider‘.
With Provider installed you can update your calendar from Thunderbird. This is what we’ve been waiting for, I’m just surprised it took so long!
Well I’m not going to complain, Thunderbird just became a whole lot more useful. Ignoring calendaring the TB2 update is worth getting for a variety of reasons, not least a considerable increase in speed.
