Hi, Michael. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I did it using the HTTP address provided by Horde for the
corresponding calendar. I thought Thunderbird needed that Cyrus support
from CalDAV / CarDAV to interact with Horde.

I think I would just be missing solve the crash of the process when
trying to access a specific folder (I think it just happens with that).

I was not able to find the cause yet. Maybe a problem with repeated
messages (that "257 256" makes me think about that) causes a process
crash? This had never happened to me with 2.4.17. Apparently, it only
happens with that folder. Yesterday I deleted all the messages there
using Thunderbird (they were cron jobs mails) and now I would have to
see the cron jobs that ran today, but I don't see anything. When I try
to open the folder, Thunderbird displays a message saying "Server
[mailserver] has disconnected. The server may have gone down or there
may be a network problem". Maybe the information in the folder is in an
inconsistent state for some reason after the upgrade?

Thanks for your time.


Kind regards,
Daniel
