I'm using the GDataProvider along with Lightning to access my Google Calendar from Thunderbird. However I'd also like to have access to my Google Tasks as well. Does anybody know if this is possible at present? The GDataProvider wiki suggests that they will support this eventually (they've been stuck waiting for a Tasks API), but I'm wondering if anybody has managed to get this working any other way?

One interesting workaround for this problem, whilst we're stuck waiting for tasks API, is to use Bryan Clark's Google Calendar Tab. As long as you have your tasks displayed on your Google calendar, you will then have access to them from Thunderbird too. Obviously this isn't as good as native integration into Thunderbird via an API, but its the best I've managed so far. | |||

I'm not sure how it'd be possible to get your task data without the API implemented. I'd love someone to prove me wrong though. | |||

Google has released the Google Tasks API in May 2011. There's a getting started guide on the Google apps developers blog. The GDATA Provider developers track the issue but it hasn't been resolved yet. | |||

Not currently possible. However, a response from Google in this support thread directs people to vote for this feature in the Google poll soliciting ideas for enhancements to GTasks. (The poll is open until 19 Nov 2010.) | |||

You can view the google tasks page itself at: https://mail.google.com/tasks/ig?pli=1 Is there a thunderbird extension that would allow you to display the contents of that url in the sidebar? If so, that is all you would need. No need for Google's API. | |||

It is definitely possible without a published API because I use a product called gSyncIT to sync tasks from outlook to google tasks. Unfortunately their product is only for Outlook and not Thunderbird/Lightning. | |||
