Hi guys sorry to be late to this chat but i have offered to help a friend who has 3 pc and 1 laptop(apple) using Firebird and its calendar for work/pleasure and recreational planning. they want to use one synchronized calendar on all the pcs.

what is the best option for this – they have a web hosted service but reading the above it sounds like they should synchronize the current master version onto Google and then attach the other pcs to Google and synchronize with this. thereafter any change is synced everywhere.

i have made the world too simplistic? or is there a better solution?

Mozbackup has matured into a very quick and easy solution… for PCs. If you’re like many T-birders, there’s an Apple in the chain somewhere. That’s where you’ve got to manually copy and paste. The folks who’ve developed Foxmarks might have some insight to fixing this syncing feeling.

Or just use Mozbackup which does everything for you. Copy back-up`ed data to different machine and you will have exact the same copy (mirror)

Good luck

There is a program that allows to synchronize to local thunderbird profiles. It copies emails, etc from one to another, or in the direction you select. It is “Synching Thunder” (http://synchingthunder.sourceforge.net/). The only problem is that it is still “green”, but works…most of the time.
