How to configure automatic synchronization of your mail.com default calendar with Mozilla Thunderbird

Info:

Calendar functionality was integrated into Thunderbird with version 78.0. If you don't see any options to add or view a calendar, please make sure to update Thunderbird to the latest version.

  1. Set up an application-specific password and make a note of it.
  2. Click on the menu icon in the top right corner of the Thunderbird window.
  3. In the New submenu, select Calendar.
  4. Select the On the Network option and then Next to continue.
  5. In the User name field, enter your mail.com address.
  6. In the Location field, enter the path https://caldav.mail.com/begenda/dav/your mail.com email address/calendar.

Example: For the email address john.doe@mail.com, you enter https://caldav.mail.com/begenda/dav/john.doe@mail.com/calendar/ as the location.

  1. Click Find Calendars.

  2. Enter the application-specific password you created in step 1 and click on Sign in.
  3. Under Calendar Type choose CalDAV.
  4. Under Properties give the mail.com Organizer a name and, if applicable, a color. Appointments from this calendar will later be displayed in the color. Click Subscribe.
Your mail.com "My Calendar" default calendar is now synchronized with Mozilla Thunderbird.
Info:

If you retrieve your emails via POP3/IMAP, you will then need a separate application-specific password. Use this instead of your usual password in the email programme or the email app provided by the other provider.
