When I create a New Event in ThunderBird on my calendar (which I have on MultiWeek view) I get this dialog:

enter image description here

Because I don't set times for any of the events I put on the calendar, I would like for the "All day Event" checkbox to be selected by default.

However, I don't know how to do this. I have to click it for every single event I put on the calendar and it's driving me crazy because I usually forget to click it.

Is it possible to get this to be checked by default when I create a new event in the MultiWeek or Month calendar views?

Reset to default

Apparently, the only way to do this is using the Week or Day view. Double-click immediately below the date to start with All day Event selected.

Default to All-day Event

  • It's not quite the same; for some reason, it does not appear to honor the "Start of Day" choice; when I create the event, it still chooses 1:00 PM (I assume that's because it was 12:30 at the time I tested it). Because of that, then the event shows as spanning two days. See here:

  • @joejoejoejoe4, the answer I'd given was wrong -- T'bird does not respect the start date. Please see the changed answer, and please accept my apology for the misinformation. Regretfully, this only works in Day and Week views.
