It would be better to store a local copy of the remote calendar and sync it everytime the remote calendar is used in order to be able to use the calendar offline as well and to be able to synchronize it with, for example, a handheld device or a mobile phone. I cannot sync my mobile phone with a WebDAV calendar, but still like to store it online.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a remote calendar
2. No local file is created

Actual Results:  
No local ics file is created

Expected Results:  
A local ics file in the profile folder is created.

You already can use the Automatic ics-Export extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/sunbird/3740/] to achieve this.

With this extension you can then point in thunderbird/ligthning to a network/ics file file a local address file:///..../foo.ics
then even offline you will see your calendar
This solution works well you can for example use lightning to remote calendar and sunbird for local calendar
