You need the lightning add on. There you can add the RTM iCalendar Service URL that is visible on the Info tab of your account.

There is a Thunderbird extension called Provider for Google which should also help with your issue. Also I second the advice to install the Lightning extension; it's terrific. In fact, spend some time browsing the Mozilla Add-ons, there are a lot of really good extensions for Tbird.

Yes, use Lightning, and add the 2 RtM iCal URLs as new remote calendars. The integration is only one-way at this time, unfortunately: you can read tasks in TB that have been added using the RtM website or email or SMS, but TB + Lightning cannot add tasks to the list.

The Provider for Google Calendar requires Lightning to work, and it is bidirectional, but the GCal provider does nothing with regard to RtM.

Is there anything being done about being ably to sync RTM and lightning? (ie bidirectional)

Posted 5 years ago

I made a prototype for a RTM Provider for Tbird+Lightning. It doesn't have full functionality but it's passable if you use the bare minimums.

See here:

(and use at your own discretion!)

Micheal,

Thanks for making that add-on!
My experience so far, however, is that it doesn't sync back to RTM but is only one-way. Anyone else having more success in this respect?

Posted 5 years ago

Apologies! I just checked, and it did in fact update. I guess it was a bit delayed. Good work!

I have a somewhat convuluted solution that works for me.

Using the Milksync for windows mobile and then Birdiesync to synchronise my iPAQ with Thunderbird. This gives me bi-directional synching of my task list through all my applications.

Kudos to Mr. Wu for his provider, but I can't get it to work for me - probably because I'm too dumb to figure out how to allow write access to my RTM account. Glad there are many folks out there brighter than me.

Posted 5 years ago

And twelve hours later, I did figure it out. The site that was most helpful to my little mind was

http://www.dailygyan.com/2008/05/remember-milk-provider-extension-for.html

which is a nice howto. Just look for the new task that shows up after adding the calendar, and follow the url it provides. Works just fine.

Again, thanks Michael, great app.

it works well for me. Only problem is that it cannot update due dates back to rtm servers.

have used this extension in the past then drifted away from using Tbird entirely (Gmail+RTM plugin in FF). Since Gmail offers IMAP,
want to setup on wife's laptop and my desktop using Tbird for full Gmail, gCal, RTM integration across multiple Computers.
have XP sp3,
TB 2.0.0.19,
Lightning 0.9,
Provider for Google calendar 0.5.1,
RTM Provider 0.0.11
after creating new calendar per instructions on dailygyan site listed above, fail to get new task to begin Authentication to RTM account.
have even gone so far as to create a new Tbird profile and new XP user acct (with only the add-ons listed above), but No task shows up to authenticate even after rebooting. Can import RTM tasks using iCal feeds but was hoping for bi-directional support. Anyone have suggestions on where to go from here.

The plugin doesn't appear to sync/connect anymore to RTM since Nov/Dec believe. I had this working for a bit and it's great!

Please fix this!

Updated version 0.0.13 released today by Mike Wu works like a charm.

I was unable to activate the API key. I got the error:
"Uh oh... something went wrong. Don't worry though; it's not your fault. The application you're using to interact with Remember The Milk made an error."

I tried to re-authenticate API yesterday... and it works !

Posted 4 years ago

Is there any chance that the email could be included when I convert a task to an email? This would make the plugin even more useful.

It would be wonderfull if you can develop an extension like Google Calendar Tab

Please see the following link:
http://clarkbw.net/blog/2009/11/23/google-calendar-in-thunderbird-tabs/

It works great!

I had the extension working with TB 3, just upgrade to TB 5 and does not work. I even modified the .rdf file so it would install in 5, but the extension doesn't seem like it's registering with RTM :(

This add-on has been disable by an administrator? When it'll back?

Posted 1 year ago

The Thunderbird (preferably for the 7.0 version) add-on would be very useful for me.

Aww man this was disabled!!!

Currently, we can use iCal resource and create a "calendar" in TB/Lightning.
But this creates... a calendar !
Not a list of tasks...

How can we sync RTM tasks with TB/Lightning tasks ?

Posted 1 year ago

I would also like to have a bidirectional sync with TB/Lightning.

Please guys!

Posted 1 year ago

This would be great for me too! It's frustrating that I can sync with my phone but not my desktop.
