Lightning/Provider prevents TB from launching
With TB 2.0.0.22 & lightening 0.9 & Provider 0.5.2, TB locked for me at startup recently. Figured it was lightening as the title in the task manger for thunderbird included July 2009. I started from winkey+r with thunderbird -jsconsole, the error console showed an error briefly but then did not paint and I could not show this again after a couple of reboots. Turns out Thunderbird has a safe mode shortcut created at installation, going in and disabling lightning (& also provider solved it). What a disaster, cost me an hour today, very disappointing.

Others have been seeing this issue too

Fantastic Add-On!! It solved my problem not finding a doable solution for syncing my Nokia E90 with Lightning (or any other calendar-application) under Linux over Bluetooth.
Now I installed Mail for Exchange on my phone, and Provider/Lightning/Thunderbird on my Linux-box. Both syncs perfectly with Google Calendar with the bonus(?) that my wife can fill in my phone calendar from her workplace via Google.
Splendid!!!

Thunderbird 3.0 betas?
I'm riding on the Lightning Nightly Build for Thunderbird 3.0 Beta 3; is there any development build you offer that would be compatible with Thunderbird 3.0?

Release Notes
Version 0.5.2 — July 19, 2009 — 107 KB
Note: 0.5.2 is only a maintenance release to support Postbox and Lightning 0.9.5 Inverse Edition. The following release notes still apply:


This version of the Provider for Google Calendar REQUIRES Sunbird/Lightning 0.9
This version also contains all locales that are shipped with Sunbird/Lightning 0.9. If you would like to use the Provider with a 1.0pre version, you need to use a Provider nightly from :
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/calendar/lightning/nightly/latest-comm-1.9.1/


An important change in this version is that both ATTENDEES and INVITATIONS are enabled and sent by default, due to a Google server bug being fixed.

Note that it is not possible to accept an invitation received via email onto your Google Calendar. To correctly use invitations, please be sure to enable the "Automatically add invitations to my calendar" option, invitations will then automatically be shown in the application's invitation manager or in the calendar views.

Note there are some limitations with alarms, especially on recurring
events.
