Simply don't set up the email portion of Thunderbird. Interestingly, the mail and calendar portions of Thunderbird are separate - meaning they don't rely on each other to function. You can set up the calendar portion without configuring the email to use Gmail, you could use a different email provider instead if you wanted to. Cheers, Rick Hi Caio,

But, what about a sync without Gmail? Is it possible to directly synchronize the android calendar with the calendar used by thunderbird (lightning)? Thank you Hello,
I’m looking for the android calendar features, and everywhere I read about Gmail + Android + Thunderbird sync.
But, what about a sync without Gmail?
Is it possible to directly synchronize the android calendar with the calendar used by thunderbird (lightning)?

Thank you
