How to make Thunderbird assign myself as default calendar event organizer?
Jan 28, 11:31pm
To set yourself as the default organizer for new calendar events in Thunderbird, you need to ensure that your email account is set as the default in Thunderbird and that your calendar is properly configured. Here’s how you can do it:
Set Your Email Account as Default:
Go to Thunderbird’s main menu, then to "Account Settings."
Select your email account and ensure it is set as the default account.
Configure Calendar Settings:
Open the Thunderbird calendar (Lightning).
Right-click on your calendar and select "Properties."
Ensure your email address is correctly set in the calendar properties.
Check for Residual Settings:
If you previously used a different calendar (like Google Calendar) and removed it, there might be residual settings causing the wrong organizer to appear. In such cases, creating a new Thunderbird profile and migrating your data can resolve the issue, though this is a more advanced step.
Advanced Configuration (if needed):
Open Thunderbird’s Config Editor by going to "Tools > Options > Advanced > Config Editor."
Search for "calendar.registry" and look for the ".calendar-main-default" key.
Ensure the correct calendar is set to "true" as the default.
If you still encounter issues, it may be due to a lingering setting from a previously removed calendar. In that case, creating a new profile is often recommended as a last resort.
