Thunderbird Gains Native Microsoft Exchange Support
📧 Thunderbird 145 introduces built-in support for Microsoft Exchange email via the Exchange Web Services (EWS) protocol, eliminating the need for third-party add-ons in Exchange-hosted environments. The client auto-detects account settings and uses Microsoft’s OAuth2 for authorization to simplify migration from Outlook. Initial capabilities include full folder listings, message synchronization, message operations (view, send, reply, forward, move, copy, delete), attachment handling, subject/body search and quick filtering for Microsoft 365 domains with standard OAuth2 and for on-premise Exchange using basic password authentication. The Thunderbird team says additional features such as calendar syncing, address book support, Microsoft Graph integration and expanded authentication options (NTLM, tenant-specific OAuth2) are planned but not yet available.
