See [[:Category:Issues - Calendar]]
 
'''Issue:''' Email alerts are not sent.
 
'''Versions:'''  Sunbird 0.2 and Calendar Extension 0.8.3 on Firefox.
 
'''Background:'''  Sunbird 0.2 is built on a plain Mozilla core and the Calendar extension builds on a modfied core. As a result, some network services are not available.  See [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ Calendar vs. Sunbird] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237148 Bug 237148]. 
 
'''Workarounds:''' Do not use the Calendar extension on Sunbird.
 
==Some ICS files are not readable by Apple iCal==
 
'''Issue:''' Apple iCal will not read in some .ics files published by Sunbird or Calendar Extension.
 
'''Versions:'''  Sunbird 0.2 and Calendar Extension 0.8.3.
 
'''Background:'''  The problem is known to happen when there are long descriptions, which are wrapped to 75 characters in the ICS file using LF instead of CRLF line ends. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=283881 Bug 283881].
 
'''Workarounds:'''  Instead, use one of the workarounds below:
 
* Use only empty or short descriptions, less than 75 characters, so no descriptions are wrapped.
* Use Export, which postprocesses line ends to workaround problem:
** Deselect other calendars in the calendars tab.
** Select "View All Events" in the event list.
** Select "All Events".
** Select "File -> Export Selected Events".
** Use Calendar file format (ICS, not VCS).
** Publish the calendar using other means, such as manual FTP.
