Try this:

  • Menu app icon > Help > Troubleshooting Information
  • Under 'Application Basics' - about 11th in list is Profile Folder - Click on 'Open folder'

A new window opens showing the contents of your 'profile name' folder.

  • Exit Thunderbird if running....this is important
  • Click on 'calendar-data' folder to see contents.
  • Copy local.sqlite file and put copy onto desktop.
  • In calendar-data folder - Rename 'local.sqlite' to 'local.sqlite.bak' -

Download install addon - Firefox sqlite DB manager add-on into Firefox browser.

  • Start the addon - you should see a new icon on the toolbar near the menu app icon - hover over icon and it will say SQLite Manager - clickon it.

Use addon to open the desktop copy of the local.sqlite DB

  • drag the desktop copy of 'local.sqlite' into the opened addon.

run two SQL queries - you type this in the yellow area

Searched for items with null id: SELECT * from cal_events WHERE id IS NULL LIMIT 100

If you find any... So then use the following to deleted it: DELETE FROM cal_events WHERE id IS NULL

  • Saved the database file, 'Save' located at the bottom - save is usually saved in the 'Downloads' folder.
  • Access the 'Downloads' folder to locate downloaded saved version of 'local.sqlite'.
  • put the saved 'local.sqlite' back into the 'calendar-data' folder

restart Thunderbird and report on results.
