How can you define which calendar and event attachment in Thunderbird gets added to
I receive an event as attachment in Thunderbird, but when I accept it I have no control over which lightning calendar it is added to. It seems they always get added to an internal calendar that isn't much use for sharing. How can this be configured? I would assume you would be asked which calendar to add to, or to be able to move an event from one calendar to another, but can't work out how to do either.

OK, that worked! I can how add events to the calendar. One separate but annoying thing is that I keep getting reminders for events in the past, but clearly not related to this.
Thanks!

An email address is assigned to each calendar. Depending on the email account the invitation was received, it's added to the matching calendar.
Well, that partly answers it, but it looks like only some calendars have an email associated with them. The ones I want to use are google calendars and they don't have one.
... only some calendars have an email associated with them.
That's something you need to do yourself. Right-click the calendar in the left pane - Properties - E-Mail.
That's just my point, there is no email property that can be set for some calendars.
Can you provide a screenshot? http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
Two screenshots, one with an email property, the other without.
Not seeing this problem here. All calendars, including a Google Calendar, do have the email property. If this is a network calendar, try to remove it, restart Thunderbird, and set it up again from scratch.
Nope, no joy. Tried that and still no email address property.
There seems to be a difference between google calendar over gdata provider and google calendar over caldav. To set email you need caldav calendar. Not sure if this works for secondary calendars too but at least for your primary calendar it should. So try getting ical address from google and adding it as a caldav calendar.
OK, still no joy. I tried caldav (somewhat unintuitive to choose that rather than the 'Google Calendar' option) and pasted in the ical URL as location. Big joy as it did allow me to associate and email address with it, buy the joy didn't last as the calendar events didn't show up and I got an error trying to save an event to it.
Ah, sorry I forgot Google made some changes, see: https://blog.mozilla.org/calendar/2013/09/google-is-changing-the-location-url-of-their-caldav-calendars/
Could you try the address described there? If it doesn't work, please try to be more specific as to what exact error you get.
