Hey Daniel,

I feel your pain, I’ve gone through the same thing, find here some instructions:

The calendar doesn't contain a timezone 'TZID=Asia/Famagusta' referenced from its components

Ok, new update and this would apply for anyone having this issue: Enabled the debug logging in Menu > Accounts > select account > Diagnostics > Google calendar > Save. Restarted eMclient to recreate the issue, the logs are located at C:\Users<profile_name>\AppData\Roaming\eM Client\Logs, named by date and account. Searched the logs for the pesky timezone and that showed me a specific recurring event that I was having with that weird timezone. After removing that event, restarted eMclient aga…

Sorry it took so long to respond.
This is a NullReferenceException, something unhandled in the code.

Thanks for the program update and fo fixing this, guys, I got my calendar working once again.
Much appreciated!

[hdany]

Reopenning, issue has reoccured.
Guys, I can’t get my google calendar to sync.
I’m a developer myself, and I’m posting the full stack trace, and issue is still not resolved.
This is the last chance before I give up on your product.

As a Pro License user, it would be better for you to open a support ticket directly with eM Client.

[hdany]

I don’t have a Pro License and at this point, with calendar not working, I’m not even considering one.
This is a major flaw in the app, and should be fixed, for pro or not-pro users.
I would pay Pro for unique features that no one has, not as a donation for maybe getting a bug fixed, while the bug has been reported and open for almost a year.

[Gary]

If you are using eM Client with your work email account beyond the 30 day evaluation period, you need to purchase a Pro License or remove the application from your computer.

[hdany]

Thank you. Removed the application.
