I had selected <a href=\"http:\/\/gcaldaemon.sourceforge.net\/index.html\">GCALDaemon<\/a> to keep our Thunderbird calendars in sync with each other, but in use this had a few problems. For one thing, every time GCALDaemon synced, it would freeze Thunderbird. This was annoying. Further, there was some kind of permission problem regarding new calendar events: once created, we couldn&#8217;t modify them. This was really the deal-breaker, and why I started looking for an alternative.<\/p>\n<p>So I have uninstalled GCALDaemon and replaced it with the <a href=\"https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-US\/thunderbird\/addon\/4631\">Provider add-on<\/a> for Thunderbird. This has its advantages and disadvantages. For one thing, it is considerably easier to install than GCALDaemon, although the instructions provided by <a href=\"http:\/\/bfish.xaedalus.net\/?p=239\">bfish.xaedalus.net<\/a> help make it even simpler. On the other hand, it has one drawback which GCALDaemon does not: it has no offline cache. This means that when we don&#8217;t have an active Internet connection, we won&#8217;t have access to our calendars. However, this is rarely the case, so it&#8217;s a drawback I am willing to accept.<\/p>\n<p>So far, everything has gone really well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a follow-up on my migration from from Outlook to Thunderbird.
