I created a network calendar and enabled offline support. However, starting thunderbird with no network-connection, the calendar doesn't show anything. I expected that I would see my calendar entry. Is this a bug oder do I expect the wrong thing? How can I debug this? I'm using Thunderbird-Version: 60.2.1 (64-Bit) Lightning-Version: 6.2b6 with Linux Mint MATE 18.3

With Thunderbird 60.4.0 and Lightning 6.2.4 under GNU Linux system, I find a ~/.thunderbird/<id>.default/calendar-data/backup/ directory, in which I find several ICS calendars which seems to contain the offline information for my remote calendar.
So it seems that I can consult my remote calendar offline by importing one of these ICS into a new calendar.
It feels however silly to have to create a new calendar and manually do such import. I really wish the "offline support" of Lightning for remote calendars would provide a user-friendly (if not automatic) way to switch between remote server and offline local cached data.

You can export your network calendar as an .ics file and open it locally. Why, though, would you expect a "network calendar" to be available without network connection?? – DrMoishe Pippik – 2018-12-23T04:39:43.453
Well, in practice: when travelling by train I have often lose network, nevertheless I want to know my dates. Beside, there's the option: Offline support (especially for network calendars in lightning), thus I expected it or want to know what it means. – user3656083 – 2018-12-23T12:35:04.157
