Hi Simon – Mailspring 1.19.0 was just released and adds ICS-based recurrence support (#2637) and a recurring event indicator icon (#2633). There’s also been a lot of updates to how the app creates and edits recurring events so that you can create one-time exceptions, change all occurrences, etc. Your weekly recurring events from Google Calendar should now display properly in the calendar view. Please update and let me know how it works for you! If they still don’t appear, it could be a separate sync issue that needs investigation.

@bengotow yes i saw the update and i updated and it PARTLY WORKS!

if i create a new event in google calendar thats recurring, it now shows in the calendar preview

BUT my existing recurring events that were setup, are STILL not being shown!?

Hey great to hear it! I think that the problem is that calendar sync has advanced past reading those events and needs to do a full resync to find them. There’s not a great way to trigger that in the UI just yet, but I’ll see if we can add it (and probably do it for everyone when the calendar feature goes out of preview this year!)
