Same thing here, if you later want to add more calendars, just redo the procedure.
Alternative: Using the TbSync addon
-----------------------------------
For this method, you need to have two add-ons installed:
#. `TbSync <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/>`_.
#. `TbSync provider for CalDAV and CardDAV <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/dav-4-tbsync/>`_.
When they are installed, go to **Extras**/**Synchronization settings (TbSync)** if you are on Windows, or **Edit/Synchronization settings (TbSync)** if on Linux, then:
#. In the account manager choose **Add new account** > **CalDAV & CardDAV**
#. In the next window, go with the default called **Automatic Configuration** and click **Next**
#. Enter an **Account name** (which you can freely choose), a **User name**, a **Password**, the **Server URL**, and click **Next**
#. In the next window, TbSync should have auto-discovered the CalDAV and CardDAV addresses. When it has, click **Finish**
#. Check the **Enable and synchronize this account** box. TbSync will now discover all address books and calendars your account has access to on the server
#. Check the box next to each calendar and address book you want to have synchronized, set how often you want them to be synchronized, and push the button **synchronize now**
#. After the first successful synchronization is complete, you can close the window.
Henceforth, TbSync will do the work for you. You are done with the basic configuration and can skip the next sections unless you need a more advanced address book.
Alternative: Using the CardBook add-on (Contacts only)
------------------------------------------------------
`CardBook <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/cardbook/>`_ is an advanced alternative to Thunderbird's address book, which supports CardDAV. You can have TbSync and CardBook installed in parallel.
`CardBook <https://addons.thunderbird.net/en/thunderbird/addon/cardbook/>`_ is an advanced alternative to Thunderbird's address book, which supports CardDAV.
#. Click the CardBook icon in the upper right corner of Thunderbird:
