Multimonth View is an open-source addon designed to enhance the Thunderbird calendar "Multiweeks view" (limited to 6 weeks max). It allows users to display multiple months, from 3 months to a full year, in a single calendar view, making it easier to plan and visualize events over a longer period. This addon is particularly useful for students, enabling them to schedule their entire school or university year efficiently. It is compatible with Thunderbird 115 and is inspired by the Year View addon, which is only compatible with older versions of Thunderbird and is not updated anymore.
- Multiple Months Display: View several months (from 3 months to one year) at once within the Thunderbird calendar. This feature is perfect for long-term planning and getting a comprehensive overview of your schedule.
