We use nextcloud calendar (single-user, not shared) on mobile devices and with thunderbird on different computers (“calendar on network” with caldav). Appointments are managed mainly with thunderbird and only looked at (and used as reminders) on the mobile devices. The appointments created with thunderbird have at least one reminder, often more.
When thunderbird is started on an account where it has not been used for some time, it becomes unusable and spits out reminders for past events like crazy. Users are presented with many popups “Event has been changed on server” (which it has not) demanding to either “ignore” or “reload” (i think). This goes on for at least five to ten minutes during which thunderbird is “frozen” or waits for the decision mentioned above.
I’m quite sure this is not strictly a nextcloud-issue, but is there any way to ignore/turn off reminders for past events (in thunderbird)?
This has been happening since many versions of nextcloud and thunderbird and across many platforms (windoze untested).
THX for your input!
