User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; nl; rv:1.8.1.3) Gecko/20070309 Firefox/2.0.0.3 Build Identifier: Sunbird / Lightning 0.3.1 When using a remote calendar (eg. on icalx.com) by multiple users, it is easy to overwrite each others changes. It would be very useful to sync the remote calendar *before* adding new items and uploading the changes. This is a feature request, but also a critical bug, because now it is easy to lose data. What I found on the web was that in Mozilla Calendar there was such feature (publish changes automatically), (still referenced to from http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html#remote_server -> more info here (http://www.twilight-systems.com/flacco/mozcal/mozcal-webdav.html) but it seems to have disappeared in 0.3.1. Or at least the 'download first before adding new things'-part. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: User 1 and User 2 are on different computers accessing the same remote webDav calendar. 1. User 1 opens remote calendar 2. User 2 opens same calendar 3. User 1 adds item 4. User 2 adds item. Actual Results: Only the item of user 2 are now remotely available. User 2 has overwritten the changes of user 1 Expected Results: Both the item of user 1 and user 2 available. The software should have downloaded the latest version of the calendar before adding an item and uploading the calendar to the remote server

Sunbird 0.5 / Lightning 0.5 offer the functionality to automatically reload remote calendars every X minutes. Does this meet your request?

No, that would be a useful but different feature, although closely related. It is necessary to have the reload just before adding a new item, and not possibly 5 minutes before, since an other user could have already added new items.

This issue seen here is mentioned in the official release notes and tracked with Bug 329570. The bug lists various strategies that might be used to solve the issue including re-reading the calendar before writting to it.
