Synchroniser avec Thunderbird
Thunderbird is a feature-rich and mature mail client that can be turned into a full-fledged Personal Information Manager (PIM). Since version 102, it supports address book synchronization via CardDAV and automatic discovery of calendars and address books available on the server.
Méthode recommandée
Since Thunderbird 102, the CardDAV protocol is natively supported.
To enable it:
On the address book view, click the down arrow near « New Address Book » and choose « Add CardDAV Address Book ».
In the next window, type your user name and URL of your server.
The next window will ask for your username and password for this account.
The previous window will be refreshed and ask you which address books you wish to sync.
Choose and then click Continue.
If you later want to add a new address book, you can redo all of those steps and only the books not already synchronized will be suggested.
For calendars, the CalDAV protocol is also natively supported.
To enable it:
Click on « + » near Agendas on the agendas page.
Choose « On the network » on the next window.
Type your « user name » and « Url of the server », then click on « Find Calendars ».
Choose which agendas you want to add and click « Subscribe »
Same thing here, if you later want to add more calendars, just redo the procedure.
Alternative: Using the TbSync addon
Pour cette méthode, vous devez installer deux extensions.
When they are installed, go to Extras/Synchronisation settings (TbSync) if you are on Windows, or Edit/Synchronisation settings (TbSync) if on Linux, then:
Dans le gestionnaire de comptes, choisir « Ajouter un compte / compte CalDAV / CardDAV »
Dans la fenêtre suivante, choisir l’option par défaut Configuration automatique et cliquer sur suivant
Enter an account name (which you can freely choose), a user name, a password, the URL of your server, and click next
In the next window, TbSync should have auto-discovered the CalDAV and CardDAV addresses. When it has, click Finish
Check the Enable and synchronize this account box. TbSync will now discover all address books and calendars your account has access to on the server
Check the box next to each calendar and address book you want to have synchronized, set how often you want them to be synchronized, and push the button synchronize now
After the first successful synchronization is complete, you can close the window.
Henceforth, TbSync will do the work for you. You are done with the basic configuration and can skip the next sections unless you need a more advanced address book.
Alternative: utiliser l’extension CardBook (Contacts seulement)
CardBook est une alternative avancée au carnet d’adresses inclus dans Thunderbird, qui prend en charge CardDAV. TBSync et CardBook peuvent être installés en parallèle.
Cliquer sur l’icône Cardbook dans le coin supérieur droit dans Thunderbird :
Dans Cardbook :
Go to Address book > New Address book Remote > Next
Sélectionner CardDAV, renseigner l’adresse de votre serveur Nextcloud, votre nom d’utilisateur et mot de passe
Cliquer sur « Valider », cliquer sur Suivant, puis choisir le nom du carnet d’adresses et cliquer une nouvelle fois sur Suivant :
When you are finished, CardBook synchronizes your address books. You can always trigger a synchroniZation manually by clicking « Synchronize » in the top left corner of CardBook:
L’ancienne méthode : s’abonner manuellement à chaque calendrier
Cette méthode n’est nécessaire que si vous ne voulez pas installer TBSync.
Go to your Nextcloud Calendar and click on the 3 dots menu for the calendar that you want to synchronize which will display an URL that looks something like this:
https://cloud.nextcloud.com/remote.php/dav/calendars/daniel/personal/Go to the calendar view in Thunderbird and right-click in the calendar menu to the left (where the names of the calendars are) to add a New Calendar.
Choisissez Sur le réseau :
Choisissez CalDAV et remplissez les informations manquantes :
