Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent. Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems. |
How can I add Microsoft 365/Exchange Online accounts to Thunderbird (Mac)? I have three accounts I need to add, two behind multi-factor authentication and one that just authenticates with a password.
I primarily use Outlook (Mac) with Microsoft 365/Exchange, but I need to test these accounts on Thunderbird as well.
Thanks!

Thunderbird does not natively support Exchange. There may be add-ins that will enable support. I’m not familiar with any though.
See POP3 and IMAP4 in Exchange Online for pop and imap information.

Check ExQuilla for Exchange
Thunderbird email accounts connecting to Microsoft Exchange Web Services.
ExQuilla allows Thunderbird users to read messages and contacts on Microsoft Exchange Server version 2007 and later. It uses the EWS protocol and requires EWS to be enabled on your email server and domain.
ExQuilla is a paid addon and requires a paid license. Keeping ExQuilla working with future Thunderbird versions is a lot of work and ongoing.
When I try to bring up that link though, I’m getting page not found.
Copy/paste error, try this for POP3 and IMAP4 in Exchange Online.
Hope this helps.
Check the ad-ons in your browser. The link works for me on Firefox 80.0.1

Works for me with Chrome
My preferred methods for Thunderbird & Exchange would be, 1) DavMail (separate Java application, http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ – local protocol-translating proxy) and 2) TbSync (Thunderbird add-on, https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/ – works as ActiveSync.)
Yes, IMAP works for mail if enabled on the server, but only for mail nowadays.
It’s the rest of the stuff that’s more of a problem. If your server has ActiveSync (365 should, on-premises might not), TbSync directly to server can get calendars, contacts etc.
And if your Exchange server has neither IMAP nor ActiveSync enabled, DavMail is what you use to get IMAP and other standard protocols locally.
