Moreover, we will remove all unnecessary components after we are done, so that they won't waste the space on your disk. However, the way we do this will not require running Evolution explicitly, and some of its components are installed and run on in Gnome-Shell anyway.Īssuming that you already have Thunderbird installed, we need to make sure that some Evolution components are installed as well. In some sense we have to do this, because Gnome Shell's calendar won't work with anything else. The way we are going to synchronize our calendar with Gnome Shell is by using Evolution in the background. This short article shows how to synchronize the events and tasks shown in the Gnome-Shell panel with Thunderbird's calendar, so that you can still use the email and calendar application of your choice and have all the convenience of keeping track of your schedule through the Gnome Shell panel. Thunderbird is developed and supported by Mozilla Foundation, which makes it a powerful tool, and, similar to Firefox, it supports lots of different extensions.

Evolution is a Gnome project's email and calendar application, which is similar to Outlook. ![]() Unfortunately, this feature is only able to sync with the Evolution calendar. All you need is to click the clock and it will open a panel showing the current and next month calendar with the list of currents events and tasks on the right side. Gnome Shell's built into the top panel clock allows you to have a quick look at the current and future events and tasks.
