Textual words from them:
It’s our first step towards a more modern, more beautiful, and more customizable Thunderbird experience. We think you’re going to love it, and we are endlessly grateful for all of your support throughout the years 💙
Other email clients support Exchange/365, such as Spark. And also there’s the fact there is the built in Windows Mail which supports it (of course) which Thunderbird has to compete with. And once it’s updated to “Outlook” it’ll stop looking tragic too.
So Thunderbird really should offer it to compete. Lots of people have Hotmail after all and would like full integration.
Doesn’t seem like Spark offers anything other than IMAP+SMTP Exchange support, just like Thunderbird: https://sparkmailapp.com/add-exchange-mac
So if your job blocks those protocols (for security reasons) then you can’t use Spark for your work email.
Anybody know what the paid plug-in for Thunderbird is? I’m curious to see what they’re doing, if they have some sort of hacky workaround.
All I know is that I’m in the same situation and the gmail mobile app works, so there’s something you can do.
Yeah that’s generally the goal of disabling IMAP, it just means your company is forcing you to use the official Gmail or Outlook app. It makes some sense, as if you look for email apps on the app store, you’ll see a ridiculous amount of random crap with no guarantee that they’re not spying on every email you send and receive.
