Just to reiterate, this is a problem because if MPE syncs the events without writing them to Thunderbird/Lightning and this goes unnoticed, then they will get deleted from the phone when the next sync happens. Is it possible to have some kind of warning if the events don't get written.

Also, would ...

I've just discovered the timeout option in the Thunderbird sync settings, after increasing to 30 seconds it now seems to work and I've managed to create some events now. My calendar is quite large so this may have been breaching a time limit recently.

I can't pinpoint the exact date this started happening but MPE cannot sync with Thunderbird/Lightning when it is running any more, and if it does sync when Thunderbird/Lightning is not running then it does not create events in Thunderbird/Lightning.

This has been happening since around mid October ...

The HTC default calendar is called "PC Sync", you can try using a non-default Calendar app like Jorte or Business Calendar Pro to create it.

Just to confirm, MPE Thunderbird Extension 2.0.11 seems to work fine with Thunderbird 12.0.1 and Lightning 1.4, but are there any known issues?

The HTC Sensation has known "grounding" issues that affect the screen responsiveness, try holding the phone when you operate the screen, see this video for a demonstration.

If you are feeling brave, here is a DIY guide on how to fix it:

Unfortunately, a Windows updated has "forced" Thunderbird to update automatically so I am now on version 12 with Lightning 1.3.

I just did a sync and it seemed to work.

I cannot find anything else in the forums, can you provide a link, please.

Just FYI my HTC just got updated to ICS and the beta MPE Client seems to work ok, I am only sync'ing calendar.

Can the current Thunderbird MPE add-on (version 2.0.11) be used with version 11 (and Lightning 1.3) ?

As far as I know, MPE only syncs Tasks and Notes with it's own built in databases, there are separate MPE apps for these on the phone.

MPE runs in the background on the phone, you only ever see the icon in the top task bar.

I would recommend Business Calender over Jorte, but in both cases you need to configure the calender app to use the same Calendar that MPE syncs to, on my phone this is called "PC Sync".

Both apps can use multiple calendars.

I get this with just one phone connected, on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

I don't think categories are available in the standard Android diary which most apps run off of, so unless there was a specific client application, this can't be done.

However, multiple diaries are possible on Android, and can be displayed simultaneously in the same app, so it might be an idea for ...

It looks like the compatibility policy has changed with Thunderbird 10, add-ons are now compatible by default, this includes MPE 2.0.9 Add-On, I've just updated to Thunderbird 10 and Lightning 1.2.1 and no compatibility issues.

I've started getting this recently, there is no error in the Thunderbird/Lightning console, but I simply retry the operation until it starts again.

I suspect this is something to do with Lightning locking the calendar database, it may be performing some operation.

I've just been notified of an update to Thunderbird 10, the Lightning plug-in will also have to be updated to 1.2.1, will these be compatible with MPE 1.8.2 ?

I sync the calendar, this is one of the few solutions to avoiding "the cloud" which all the other sync tools insist on using, I might be a bit paranoid but I personally prefer to keep my private diary away from Google servers.

You need to connect as "Charge Only", this happens on my phone (HTC Sensation XE), the memory stick is not accessible if Drive Mode is selected.

Under File -> Settings -> Sync, only select the Calendar option as the appropriate PC software, leave the others as "Only MyPhoneExplorer", and only the calendar will sync.

I do this for Thunderbird/Lightning, as like you I don't want full details of contacts on the phone.
