Thunderbird + Lightning + Google Calendar

For those who already know the mail client (and news) Thunderbird and have ventured to try Lightning , an extension that allows you to use our own agendas, there is the possibility of writing and reading events from google caledarios using Provider for Google Calendar .

After installing the extension, access to calendar data, we must first retrieve the XML private address of the user interface of Google Calendar:

1. Open Google Calendar.
2. We click on the Settings link located in the box to the right of the page.
3. We click on the calendar you want to use with Thunderbird Lightning.
4. We left click on the XML button at the bottom to retrieve the XML private address.

Then it is sufficient if we click on File> New> Calendar> On the Web> Google Calendar and enter the address recovered.
