<p>If you would like to read your email on a Microsoft Exchange
server account using Thunderbird, there are a currently 2 main
possibilities:</p>
<ul>
<li>If the Exchange server has IMAP enabled, you can connect via
IMAP, after manually setting up the account</li>
<li>ExQuilla, a Thunderbird addon, uses the EWS propietary
protocol of Exchange.</li>
</ul>
<p>However, for a large number of corporate Exchange servers of
large companies, these 2 protocols are not enabled towards the
Internet. Oftentimes, only Outlook Web Access (OWA), the webmail
frontend of Exchange, is enabled. This rules out both options
above and leaves you without access in Thunderbird.<br>
</p>
<p>There are some other protocols that Exchange supports, e.g. the
native Microsoft Outlook application protocol, or ActiveSync,
but none of these have an implementation in Thunderbird.<br>
</p>
<p>So, with my company, we have been developing a Thunderbird
addon that uses the OWA protocol to connect to Exchange servers.
This should allow to read and write email in Thunderbird with
your Exchange account that has OWA enabled. The name of the new
extension is Owl.<br>
</p>
<p>We are currently in the early alpha stages, where we test
internally and fix bugs. We should be going into beta soon. We
are currently fixing bugs and other roadblocks in Thunderbid to
make this happen and working with Thunderbird developers to
integrate these patches.</p>
