Thunderbird adds native support for Microsoft Exchange accounts

Microsoft 365 (and by extension Outlook) is pretty much mandatory if you have a university or work email address. I’m super glad to see finally migrate completely over to Thunderbird myself :stuck_out_tongue:

List of supported and upcoming features:

Currently, the following features are supported:

  • Exchange email setup and folder access

  • Viewing, sending, replying/forwarding, moving/copying/deleting messages

  • Attachments (save, display, detach/delete)

  • Search (subject, body) and quick filtering

  • Microsoft 365 domains using standard OAuth2

  • On-premise Exchange with basic password authentication

The Thunderbird development team also plans to add support for Calendar syncing, Address book/contacts, Filter actions requiring full-message content, Microsoft 365 domains requiring custom OAuth2 app/tenant IDs, On-premise NTLM and OAuth2 authentication, and Microsoft Graph integration.

No specific timelines were provided for when these will land on Thunderbird, and implementation times may vary per item.
