exchangecalendar

I have exactly the opposite experience. Using outlook for mail is such a pain to me. Particularly the search experience does not work (I use expressionsearchNG for thunderbird) . For calendars it is just the opposite so that I am currently running it side by side. One problem is I think the iCal bridge to the outlook server we have to use at work. The announcement unfortunately cannot change anything here. I used the EWS addon maintained by Ericson [1] for a while. But Mozilla I guess drove many Plugin developers away by breaking the interface rapidly. Now they are putting some stuff into the core again. I am not really sure if that is a good strategy. They should rather IMHO work on a stable interface. [1] https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar

Here's how a Corporation like Ericsson fixes Thunderbird to make ends meet: https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar

Are you referring to this addon? https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar It seems to be dead currently, seems it stopped working in the latest Thunderbird release and the author is unresponsive.

Have you checked out Exchange EWS Provider [1], currently maintained by Ericsson? This has been around for a few years [2], and when the developer could no longer spend time on it, Ericsson took it over. The extension is not perfect, but you can get some stuff done. Another alternative is the DavMail gateway [3], which runs as a separate (Java) program that sits between your Exchange server and Thunderbird. [I haven't used this one for years ever since the Exchange EWS provider became available] [1]: https://github.com/Ericsson/exchangecalendar [2]: http://www.1st-setup.nl/wordpress/poducten/exchange-ews-cale...
