6/30/2023 0 Comments Office 365 settings for davmailThe protocols (POP3/SMTP/IMAP) are heavily outdated as well, and no one is seriously improving it in order to make them more fitting for today's needs (by improving, I mean to make it more real-time, more multi-media friendly, and more efficient so it can transmit a huge amount of data simultaneously at lighting speed). Once it was one of the most important tools for communicating on the Internet, now days for majority of people, it's just something comes with a Google/Microsoft/Apple account. Let's just face the fact here: email is dying. That way, Thunderbird devs can focus on a set of core features, while the community handles the rest.Īlso, why not look Thunderbird as a Communication Software instead of just an Email Client? > well, but I want it to be a focused appīest of the both worlds can be achieved, for example, with good extension support. Use proton mail bridge also which is another nice program. Got well over 100k emails in the work account (office365). I just had a look there so I can give people an idea. I use plugins: lookout (not sure what this does), tbsync with provider for Exchange and provider for Google Calendar (this syncs across all my devices). It now allows native OAuth2 over imap which I think was a huge step in making it play nice. Then I'll be honest about 2 or three years ago we moved to office 365, and when I configured it I think everything just magically started working.Īnd by working I mean getting better at each release. There is a group of Linux users who kinda support each other also so I wrote up a post on how to get it all working. Then I think thunderbird and lightening (for calendar) started everything better natively than the plug in sp I went to just native setup. so its changed a few times.įor about 3 years I used a plug in I paid $20 for (after a trial) that was money well spent for me. The long term important messages are in there. And everybody else and I never had a verbatim trace of any IRL conversations for million of years, so they could be nice to have feature but not an important one.īut I'm doing my best not to lose mail. Who cares about conversations of 3 years or 3 days ago. I already lost a few years of WhatsApp and nothing happened. However I feel like I can lose all of WhatsApp and Telegram messages with no harm. One reason it works for me could be that communication moved increasingly from email to messaging platforms and those are on my phone, except Slack which is confined to work boundaries. I've got my main phone always with me, but the setup would be the same. Not my one.Īnd I don't need mail on tablets and my old phone. I can easily figure jobs that need constant access to the complete email archive. I never did before 2011 (first Android phone) and nothing changed after then. My 35 years experience with email: I don't need to read old messages when I'm not at my computer. I check mail on my phone with K9 (configured to leave messages on server,) possibly answer BCCing myself and eventually download mail forever on my laptop and remove from server. I have absolutely zero interest in playing the 'what spurious UI change will throw my staff into confusion today' game with a basic productivity tool. My staff need imap and calendaring and consistency. That was the update that pushed me over the edge and prompted the rollback and push of whatever 60-ish version I chose. The last update made the context-menus and dropdown-menus white backgrounded menus with literally no border, so you had no way to determine where the menu background ended and the email background started. They're intending to jumpstart a chat protocol with a client that's used by like 0.8% of users? Sure. Now Thunderbird has added chat, that's great. Firefox added chat, everybody disabled it and eventually the feature was removed. Firefox added pocket, everyone disabled it and eventually the feature was removed. It seems they're repeating all the mistakes that firefox made. I rely on Thunderbird every single day, which is why I froze it at version 60-something (rolling back about four years) after the upgrades kept breaking it and mangling the appearance for me and the other people in my company.
