Hi, i ran into similar problems on deploying newly installed SOGo to thunderbird clients under Windows 7. After a lot of investigation i found a solution working for me.
There are some things you must do: 1. Configure your mailaccount in thundebird 2. Configure sogo-integrator as described in documentation http://www.sogo.nu/files/docs/SOGo%20Mozilla%20Thunderbird%20Configuration.pdf CAUTION: sogo-integrator takes username from your first configured mail account! ATTENTION: sogo-integrator must use same URL as SOGo-Web as isi:updateURL e.g. if SOGo ist available at http://myhost.tld/SOGo than updateUrl must start with http://myhost.tld 3. Intstall sogo-integrator and restart thunderbird (integrator tries then to install lightning and sogo-connector plugin) 4. If installation of lightning or sogo-connector does not work - install it by hand 5. When this all is done - then sogo-integrator populates all in web defined calendars automatically to thunderbird. To get SOGo in thunderbird working you need all three plugins from sogo.nu. Other combinations does not work as far as i can tell. cheers Reinhard On Mon, Jan 24, 2011 at 1:50 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > I wanted to post to the mailing list to either bring attention to the issue > or > to receive some additional information about the difficulty our company ran > into setting up Thunderbird / Lightning / SoGo (Connector Thunderbird > extension) for syncing of Calendars and Personal/Global Address List > contacts. > > During our initial setup and configuration we had everything configured and > setup correctly.
