I hate Exchange so much.
Awesome. I really needed this about 5 years ago, but I’m glad they’ve added it for sure.
-looks at watch- Really?
Did it…not have that already? I swear it did, but honestly I thought Exchange was dead long ago.
Exchange is very much kicking and Thunderbird had ews support for some time but it was in beta.
Until now, Thunderbird users in Exchange hosted environments often relied on IMAP/POP protocols or third-party extensions
I’m glad they have it but adding EWS support at the end of 2025 is nothing to brag about. EWS came with Exchange 2007, almost 20 years ago!
Yep, but still better than never 🤷♂️. I was really looking forward to it as I recently migrated from Windows to Linux only to find out that it doesn’t work for me for some reason.
Yeah but it looks like this includes support for organization Office 365 accounts, so it’s not just something that only worked 20 years ago. If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing, but it seems to support modern ones.
Microsoft announced a while back that the end of EWS is coming for exchange online which means M365 accounts. They will start blocking EWS requests from October next year and only support access via Graph API. I understand the Thunderbird team are also working on Graph API support.
