I am not sure about the inner workings of horde, especially in
combination with your setup. But as far as I remember I never use a
URL with name at domain in it to access my calendars. But I always used
my own server, not any kind of shared system.

If I remember correctly the old kronolith also shows you the required
URL somewhere. I think somewhere in the properties or "share" settings
for your calender.

I always tested the URLs in the Browser. Try to add the URL in the
Browser, after entering your hordes username/password you should get a
download dialog for a ICS file.
Lightning is not loading the remote calendars immediately after adding
them, especially when you added one with an invalid URL it messes up
loading the other calendars too.

Accessing calendars with Thunderbird/Lightning should also work in
Horde3, at least I have used it with H3 without any problems. For
stuff like syncing with Smartphones you'll need Horde4. And you may
get a better support for the current versions I guess.

Nothing fancy, for testing I use a Debian Linux running on a old
Pentium4 System. And another Debian on a rented server.
