This is improved in Thunderbird 3, which went into its fourth beta release a few days ago.I installed Kubuntu 18.04. This solution seems to work OK, but I noticed some issues with the HTML email editor. I did, however, run into a defect and workaround installing Lightning. Lightning and DavMail are downloaded and installed the same way as on Windows.

Having proven this configuration under Windows I installed Ubuntu in a VM and used Synaptic to install Thunderbird. I took this home and it worked as expected: I could send and receive mails and had a limited address book.

To work around not having the Exchange address book offline I installed Email Address Crawler which instantly scooped every to or from address from my existing mails into an address book. This is supposed to be fixed in a later release. Trying to replicate the directory for offline access did not work for me, however. With the address book available autocompletion works also. Instead I configured a Thunderbird address book to directly access Active Directory, which works only locally on the LAN.

SETUP THUNDERBIRD WITH DAVMAIL HOW TO

I couldn’t figure out how to use DavMail LDAP, the documentation is too cryptic. To configure CalDAV I specified a CalDAV location of /calendar To configure SMTP for outgoing mail I specified localhost port 1025, not 25. To configure IMAP in Thunderbird all I had to do was specify a server name of localhost and port of 1143, not 143. DavMail setup is straightforward, following the instructions on it’s website, all I had to provide was the OWA URL. Thunderbird installation is straightforward, Lightning is installed from Thunderbird’s ‘Tools/Add-ons’ menu.ĭavMail is an Exchange gateway that wraps standard protocols like IMAP around the proprietary interfaces to Exchange. Lightning will be integrated into Thunderbird 3. Thunderbird is a cross platform email client, Lightning is a calendering add-on.
