    Obviously, holidays (as in Christmas, not vacation) can be added manually, but is there a way to import them from somewhere? Ones such as Mother's Day aren't on the same day every year, so would be a pain to add many years worth manually.

    Thanks!

    Goto http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/holidays.html
    Select the link for the nation of your choice.
    Select Open with Calendar.
    Decide whether to add to an existing calendar or create a new one; I tend toward the latter.
    Observe your calendar populated with holidays.

    As the meerkat says, "Simples!"

    I renamed the new calendar and put space in the name.
    Now calendar application closes with error: "Internal error. Application 'Calendar' closed."
    Does someone now where is that name stored? In mysql or some file so I can correct my mistake.

    I understand it's sqllite. The following links may help if you understand this sort of thing:

    You can download all sorts of other iCalendar files which are available about the web: f'rMinstance I have next year's 6 Nations staes in their own calendar already. Also for UKians, as I've mentioned before but will keep banging on about because it's so hoopy, if you search for a journey on traintimes.org.uk you can select an iCal link to download the journey details to your calendar. Which is nice.

    Had to delete /home/user/.calendar/calendardb file and then full resync with exchange server. That fixed the problem.
    thanks anyway
