Aha, good tip Si, I did see that also but things were OK at my end with the *quick* method, however I hadn’t tried to disable events. Most useful, thanks for sharing amigo.

I’ve moved to Sunbird now so will see what gives over there.

Hey Rich this worked well for me until I found that I couldn’t disable event reminders within TBird. Some poking around discovered the Provider add-on which (so far) seems to allow better integration with Google Calendars:

Hey man, I’m good with my MEBBI mail as it goes, don’t want to be *too* generic, cheers for the offer though.

I like calendar integration with (inside) my mail app rather than as something seperate, I’m just lazy that way. I know I can add an iCal to Thunderbird however (correct me if I’m wrong) that either relies on it being in the MobileME cloud (which I’m moving away from) or syncing it with Google to then sync it back into Thunderbird (Lightning) for my preferred integration view, which all seems rather convoluted….or is that just me making it so?

Good tips there Geeza – I’ve always been a fan of Remember The Milk (what a great name!).

I was wondering though – how come you don’t just use iCal? That syncs to the Touch, and it’s right there on your desktop. And, providing you’re using Leopard (which you are) it supports CalDav sync with Google Calendar, just like Thunderbird, and it has a task list.
