Support Exchange Web Services Protocol in K-9 Mail

[firebird]

We use Microsoft Exchange for our email, and we probably always will. We host Exchange on our own server and have webmail. This was the reason I was tied to Evolution for so long; Evolution was the only Linux client which supported Exchange Web Services directly in the client. Thankfully, Davmail takes care of the conversion for any email client, and I was able to switch to Thunderbird. Unfortunately, no such software exists for phone operating systems like Android.

I don't think any free software app on Android supports Exchange Web Services, so I use webmail in the browser (I really don't like Outlook). This is a feature which would set Thunderbird on mobile (K-9 Mail) apart from other email clients.

I'd love to use K-9 Mail!

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

In the intervening time period, I was able to setup IMAP with Exchange on K-9 Mail, and this works fine. You don't *need* to use EWS or whatever proprietary protocol Exchange uses, though corporates might disable every protocol except MAPI/EWS.

I am using an extension to do that. If it had not existed, I would not have been able to use Thunderbird.

We often use mailcow and it would be cool, if we can use Thunderbird / Thunderbird App für syncing Mails/contacts/calendars via active sync/EWS.

Thanks.

If you do initiate it, please allow choosing the number of days to sync - including All E-mails.

Currently Outlook only allows the last 30 days.  It's frustrating having to search for a particular e-mail instead of scrolling for it.  I don't always remember the exact wording to be able to find it.

Thank You.

This would be amazing, especially for Android. My university refuses to allow IMAP so there is no way for me to check my emails.
