Now go ahead and click “Create Account”.Īs soon as you click create account, you will see your mail folders getting populated. When everything is in place, you will see green dots along side both the incoming and outgoing servers. Once proper settings have been entered, click re-test Configuration to make sure that both the servers are reachable as per the settings. Thunderbird will now try to find out the right incoming/outgoing mail servers for your account and other settings as well. In the Mail Account Setup dialogue box, fill in the information (Your Name, email id and password) and click continue. You will have to find out the incoming and outgoing mail server for your mail account and the other settings for both these servers as well. If you already have a mail account setup and want to create another mail account go to File -> New -> Mail Account and you will be greeted with the same dialogue shown above.īefore we go any further, make sure you have the necessary information to setup your mail account.

You can either launch Thunderbird from there or just use the Terminal command “thunderbird”.

When I am writing this, the latest versions for Thunderbird, Lightning and DavMail are 3.1, 1.0b2 and 3.6.6-1032 respectively.

Thunderbird doesn’t come pre-installed with Ubuntu 10.04, so we will need to install Thunderbird first. Let’s save the debate on why did I chose this particular combo only for some other day.
#DAVMAIL GATEWAY THUNDERBIRD HOW TO#
to check what folders are shown from Exchange.As the title suggests, I’m going to take you through exact steps on how to setup Thunderbird + Lightning + DavMail on Ubuntu 10.04 for your corporate email and calendaring (both hosted on Microsoft Exchange server) needs. To show them, in Thunderbird right click the Inbox folder (in the list of folders) and click Subscribe. I didn't have any Exchange folders other than Inbox in my setup, but I've read that they may not automatically appear in Thunderbird. I had no luck sending email to users outside my organisation using the Exchange server, so I switched to another SMTP server that I could access. I needed to manually configure it to IMAP as the type the server name was the same as the Exchange server (use your organisation's Outlook setup to find it) the SSL configuration was SSL/TLS and I needed to change Authorization to Normal (Thunderbird incorrectly detected it as Kerberos/GSSApi). After entering my email address and clicking Create Account, it found my organisation's details, but they were incorrect. I just started using Thunderbird with Exchange via IMAP. beat that zimbra migration!įrom my experience, its a 'yes' to Thunderbird reading and managing mail from Exchange, and a 'maybe' to sending email. (If you need to copy thunderbird filters from an old account just quit thunderbird, and copy msgFilterRules.dat from your old profiles folder in ~/.thunderbird/blah/ImapMail/blah/ to ~/.thunderbird/blah/ExQuilla/) All your filters copy. I believe there is also an addon to read the exchange *.dat files called "lookOut" But I have seen benefits from this yet" Set up your signature I think there is then a discover button which you can click, and it populates the folder field. Right click on left menu and pick "New Calender"Īuto discovery didn't work here for me, so fill out your email, username and fill the domain with "your domain" Leave everything as default, auto discovery worked a charm. There is like an options button beside the search box on the top left, click this and select "Install add-on from file"Ĭlick "Tools → ExQilla for microsoft exchange → Add microsoft exchange account

Go to and download (you may have to right click and "download as")īack in thunderbird, click "Tools → addons" (If you want calender also install "lightening") Go to addons, install a plugin called exquilla You don't need to have IMAP enabled on the server for this.

However, After a 60 day trial, it's not free to use. This is very easy to use, and allows you to set up your exchange account, even using auto-discovery if it is configured correctly.
