Please update to 102.3.x so that tbSync can work again!

[John Pye]

Currently it is impossible to use Thunderbird effectively with Office365 servers, due to a bug in TB 102.2.2, as noted here, which affects calendar syncing.

https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/issues/617

Please could we get the 102.3.x version released for Ubuntu 18.04 and later?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

The update is built in https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-mozilla-security/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/, and will soon find its way to bionic-updates. If you can't wait until that happens, try installing the update from the PPA (I'd suggest disabling the PPA afterwards).

marvellous! I now have Thunderbird and tbSync up and running again.

This is also a problem in 20.04.

In addition to the above, thunderbird 102.3 and 102.4 have tons of bugfixes for v102. Some of them preventing dataloss.

I don't think it's a problem any more. If you do a system update, you'll get Thunderbird 102.3.3, and you can then re-activate tbSync again.

@jdpipe The latest version of Thunderbird in the official repositories (for 22.04) seems still to be 102.2.2
Due to https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=thunderbird at the moment only kinetic seems to have the 102.3.3 version.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Sorry for the delay, as indicated in #2 the security ppa has an update for the current version ready, getting it verified and rolled out has been taking longer than wanted due to external factors but we are working on resolving those situations in the futur

Since Pop!_OS will skip upgrading to 22.10 Kinetic, there will be some more users happily awaiting this roll out on 22.04 LTS Jammy. Thanks for the good work.

[Christian Göbel (christiangoebel)]

Thunderbird 102.4.2 is distributed:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=thunderbird

On Ubuntu 22.04, my update worked fine, tbSync works again.
Thank you very much to the developers.
