-looks at watch- Really?
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!
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 If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing, but it seems to support modern ones.
Sure but as @ApeNo1@lemmy.world noted MS is ending support for EWS in M365 in less than 12 months! So it took them 18 years to release something that still doesn't fully work (no Calendaring support, WTF?) and won't even be usable by this time next year.
🤦
If it only supported outdated Exchange servers that would be one thing
The only Exchange server that ISN'T outdated at this point is the 4 month old Exchange Server Subscription Edition. All other versions are now EoL and have no support. So unless you have a very particular need to keep your EX environment On-Prem then you may as well migrate to EXO.
If you are already using EXO then Thunderbird's new EWS support will stop working next October.
Did it...not have that already? I swear it did, but honestly I thought Exchange was dead long ago.
Until now, Thunderbird users in Exchange hosted environments often relied on IMAP/POP protocols or third-party extensions
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
