      My work has IMAP shut off and we can only use MAPI. There’s a paid thunderbird plugin that adds MAPI support, which is likely what this person is hoping for natively 👍

        Ahhhh fair enough, I didn’t realize MAPI was a paid plugin, that suuuuucks

        EDIT: Reading up on this, it sounds like it doesn’t work because Microsoft doesn’t want it to work. MAPI is not an open standard like POP and IMAP. And they’re actually in the process of moving to EWS, which is also not an open standard. That fucking sucks!

          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.
