Thunderbird and Google Calendar

It is perfectly possible to configure Thuderbird 2.x to work with Google Calendar.
I had to install 2 Mozilla Thunderbird extension: Google Calendar Provider and Lightning (both of them are required).

Then go to Calendar view and select "Calendar-> New Calendar..."
It opens a wizard. Select there "On the Network" option, then select "CalDav" (second option) at the next screen and when you see "Location" field, which is the most tricky part of this setup,
insert there https://www.google.com/calendar/dav//events

More details are here, but actually the described is enough to get your remote Google calendar working in the Thunderbird

What's cool: you do not have to install Mozilla Sunbird to get this work!
