Synching Google Calendar Error

[Josiah Carberry]

I have defined two calendars in Thunderbird, one of which is my Google calendar. When I attempt to synchronize Thunderbird with my K610i, it fails with the message "Loading entries from Thunderbird failed!".

Additional symptoms:
1) The events from the Google calendar are NOT visible in MPE.
2) If I configure MPE to synchronize ONLY the other, local calendar, it works OK.
3) The setting Interface Timeout determines how long it takes before the error message in MPE appears.
4) Even if I set that timeout to a very large time (for example, 10 minutes), it still fails (whereas it takes about 10 seconds to see my Google calendar in Thunderbird)
5) Usaing Thunderbird 2.0.0.23

Thanks for your support on this heaven-sent solution!

How many appointments you have in Google ?
If you have added Webcalendars in Thunderbird then its strongly recommened to run Thunderbird a few minutes before you start the sync.

Thunderbird is open. I see in Thunderbird the events registered in the Google calendar. There are fewer than 20 events. Still no success.

Do you see after sync any errors in the Java-Console of Thunderbird ?

[Josiah Carberry]

I am not sure what you mean by the Java Console in TB. Here is what I have done:
- in the Java applet in the Control Panel, under Advanced->Java Console, I have set it to "Show Console".
- I have restarted TB
- I have given the command Tools->Error Console, which opened a window "Error Console", which appears to be a sort of log viewer, with the options All-Errors-Warnings-Messages-Clear
- I have run MPE again
- After it fails, I checked the Error console window, which contained no messages at all (I made sure that All was selected.

If this is not what you mean, please let me know what you mean by the TB Java Console.

Thanks,
J.

Sorry - its called Error-Console.
And another question: If you set the Timeout to 120 seconds -> in this case you should get also the errormessage after 2 minutes. Is this the case ?

[Josiah Carberry]

We are on the same wavelength - I see nothing in the Error Console, as stated in my previous message.

Regarding the timeout, you are exactly right. The amount of time it takes before I see the error message is equal to the timeout, whether it be 10 secs, 20 secs, or 600 secs.

The only other information I can give you is that I am using ver. 1.7.5 of MPE, running on a Vista platform.

Hmm - there must be a problem inside Thunderbird or the Addon. Maybe its the easiest solution if you uipgrade to Thunderbird 3 - otherwise we have to go deeper into this error. You could also Sync MPE with Google-Calendar directly.

[Josiah Carberry]

When there is a low risk combination of TB and Lightning, I will do the upgrade. If there are still problems, I will get back to you.

Thanks for the help.

I have exactly the same problem with mpe 1.7.6 not connecting thunderbird 3 for agenda sync with Google Agenda. It works for the local thunderbird agenda

You could sync MyPhoneExplorer directly with google
