I go back and forth between the coasts quite a bit. I change PC time to local time when I travel. What is the best way to enter appointments and timezone in Thunderbird to accomplish this. I seem to have some appointments that are 3 hours off when I am in either time zone. Thanks. I would prefer to just enter the time of the appointment and the calendar be agnostic to the PC time, but I'm sensing that isn't going to happen. Thanks.

Are you changing the lightning time zone in Tools menu (alt+T) > options > calendar > timezone ?

Not sure why it has it's own TZ, but it does.

Matt,

Thanks for the response. I do change the timezone using the tools menu. I'm thinking that the appts I create when West have the PDT as the base and when I got East and change the PC and TB time zone that is where the 3 hour issue resides. What's been confusing is how things look on the Google calendar on the iDevices as well.

So to simplify, will creating the appt with the time zone where it resides and then changing time zones upon arrival fix the problem? If it will, then I can try to determine how to get the Google calendar on my phone in sync as well.
