While our IT department was trying to resolve a problem with a bad certificate being served I opened wireshark to determine exactly which host ExQuilla was connecting to. Now if we could just have another addon that connects the Thunderbird UI to the server side filters (Microsoft calls them "message rules") ! :-) This review is for a previous version of the add-on (24.6).Īfter my company upgraded to exchange 2013 I was having trouble getting ExQuilla to connect again.
DAVMAIL SETTINGS FOR OFFICE365 FREE
In terms of productivity, this is a huge win over the free browser access, the money spent on this was basically made back on in time on the first day. As a developer I can appreciate that this is actually not an easy task to pull off, and Kent even offered some support for a Calendar provider. Connecting to the EWS server on Thunderbird Release was an absolute breeze, the price is really good and definitely worth the added comfort and stability.
DAVMAIL SETTINGS FOR OFFICE365 PLUS
Basically it was like a “translator” between by computer and the Exchange and then provided me with whatever service I needed.This integrated fantastically well with my corporate Exchange account now I can use all my favorite Thunderbird addons and have the space saving ergonomic layout of Tb, plus ease of folder traversing "Next Unread Email" and tabbed mail I don't even have to be on VPN anymore to manage my mail. So I started looking here and there and found this DavMail, which works as a Gateway to “talk” with an Exchange server and then locally provide you whatever you need in order to use it.
I have to confess, I was really ready to give up and simply use the old webmail and learn to live with it, however, I gave a last shot on my research capabilities and I found a possible solution: what if I had a way to put a “man in the middle”? What if I was able to make the IMAP to run locally on my computer while my computer simply pull the emails via Exchange protocol? It was a long shot but, could work… No IMAP, no Office365, game over? Not yet! However, Mailspring couldn’t connect directly to an Exchange server (using Exchange’s protocol) unless you use Office365, it required IMAP (another luxury!) and the IT department at my office was reluctant to activate IMAP for “security reasons”. These were: Hiri, which had a very modern and innovative user interface and had Exchange Server capabilities and there also was Mailspring which is a fork of an old foe ( Nylas Mail) and which was my real favorite. Found some options as email clients!Īfter some other research I found there were a couple of options for email clients that I could use and that actually would work the way I expected. All of these are capable of being connected to Exchange servers (one way or the other) but again, they don’t meet the standard of a clean, easy and modern GUI I wanted plus they couldn’t even manage my Exchange calendar well (which was a real deal breaker for me). This leads me not liking Thunderbird, K-9 or Evolution Mail clients. I actually use the webmail as I don’t like to be tied to my email client or even my computer device, if something happens and I need to switch to a newer device I don’t want to have to copy things over, I just want things to be there waiting for me to use them. I am a regular Google user, I have been using GMail for the past 14 years as my personal email, so I really like how it looks and works. Another problem, I am picky for my email client
