hİ, a long time user of exquilla and now migrated to OWL yesterday. Everything works fine on the reception, however unfortunately could not manage to send mails since the migration. These are my company mail account and now force to reply mails via tablet/mobile. This is very unpractical for me as all the inbox/folders etc are organized in my laptop however I can only respond on mobile.

Hi, long-time user of ExQuilla :-) . Just for background, the "force" Microsoft disabling EWS. We try to solve the problem with Owl and Graph.

As to your sending problem, check whether you have an SMTP server associated with the Owl account. If you do, please delete the SMTP account. See https://support.beonex.com/help/en-us/2-setup/11-i-can-receive-email-but-i-cannot-send-any-emails
If this doesn't help, please let our support know, at owl.support beonex.com . I hope this helps.

It's a shaky solution (basically using the web interface in the background (Active Sync and Microsoft Graph is available but declared "experimental")) but its devs really walk the talk, including translating Thunderbirds IMAP keyword based tags to Outlook's categories. When it breaks from time to time inevitably due to changes on Microsoft's side, the developers are quick with a fix (less than 24 hours last time).

Hey FluxVector, thanks so much for your review! Yes, it was a hard night, all-nighter, but we're trying our best.
Thanks that you appreciate details like tag support.

FYI, Owl uses the Outlook Web Access protocol, the actual wire protocol, not screen scraping. Only the login is often problematic, but "Modern authentication" is also very problematic for other reasons, unfortunately. Sign of the times we live in.

Got below error this morning when starting TB with Owl :

https://outlook.office.com/owa/ sent back an error.

Error code: 401 Unauthorized

Just got the reply from OWL development team with add-on updated, now it works perfect ! Thanks for the hard work.

Hey Raymond,

the problem is fixed in Owl 1.5.6. We released it earlier today, before your review, but Thunderbird needs to review and approve it, so it needs some time to reach you.

Meanwhile, 1.5.6.1 has been released and fixes the problem.

Would be nice of you to update your rating. I personally worked all night through to get this release to you as quickly as possible.

I have wasted three days trying to persuade Microsoft to let Thunderbird send emails from this address. It has been perfectly content to let Thunderbird receive emails but
wouldn't accept the same credentials for smtp.

I set up the account again using Owl and everything worked instantly and automatically - I didn't even need to set up the extension in the add-ons manager. I can't tell you how impressed I am with this extension; it is worth every penny in time saved alone.

I then had an issue with attachments and contacted support. Owl support were very prompt in their reply and the latest update fixed it.

I wish I didn't have to use o365 at all but this is the next best thing to being Microsoft free.

It really is a bargain; if you're hesitating, just use it. Simple, cheap and it works.

I've been using this addon for about 3 months now. Works flawlessly for me. Everytime you open up Thunderbird, the addon opens up an additional tab (inside Thunderbird), does some magic behind the curtains, and closes the tab again, then your Exchange account re-appears and syncs.

I've tried a couple other free workarounds, but this addon is so cheap and it just works. Will continue using OWL in the future if Thunderbird won't implement proper Exchange support.

Hey unihumi, thanks so much for your review and your nice words! We tried really hard to make it work nicely, so I'm happy when it works. I shared your review with my team.

Don't be blame Thunderbird on this one. Microsoft makes it really hard. We needed many years, iterations and lots of hard work to get this right.

Thanks again for your kind words,

Ben

Amazing - I ditched Microsoft Office and now ONLY use Libre Office and Thunderbird. My connection to my business partners 365 emails was the missing link - but Owl has fixed this and works an absolute charm! Thank you!

Thanks...

I want to rate this 5 stars; I really do. When GoDaddy forced all hosted email accounts onto Exchange, without Owl my choices would have been either webmail or Outlook after using Thunderbird happily for over a decade. I was pissed but not willing to try to migrate some 75GB of email history to a new host, so Owl it was.

And it works! It lets me keep my Exchange email addresses in Thunderbird, organize the inboxes, check them, send and receive mail. But...

Yeah. But.

Here's the problem:

It. Constantly. Freezes.

This is only a sometimes issue, I think maybe something to do with compatibility between versions as either Thunderbird or Owl updates, but whenever it's doing something like saving a draft or checking new messages, it freezes my entire Thunderbird app for 5-10 minutes. Which is annoying as hell when I'm trying to read an email and can't scroll down because it's all frozen, or trying to send an email and can't type a thing. If I wait for a few weeks it'll usually resolve itself with another version update, but it's been over a month with this latest spell and I'm still hoping it'll stop this. Otherwise it would be an absolutely perfect little lifesaver.

Hey Remi,
thank you for your rating and detailed explanation.

I think the reason for the freezes is your huge inbox.

Here are a few tricks that might help:
* Restart Thunderbird about once per day. (The fact that it gets better after an update might simply be because you restart Thunderbird at this time.)
* Move email into another folder, not your inbox. Your inbox is very busy, constantly mail flowing in and getting deleted. If Owl has to check your entire mail history every time, that can get slow.
* Change to EWS. Go to Owl settings (Thunderbird menu | Addons | Extensions | Owl | Wheel icon), and manually re-create the account, and select EWS as protocol. EWS is far more efficient than OWA. I think EWS is enabled at GoDaddy.

I hope this helps. At least EWS should definitely help. Contacts and calendar should work with EWS in Owl.

P.S. Please send us an email to our support, before rating. Our support can help with problems like these.

Kind greetings,

Ben

For version 1.5.0 from DEV's website.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm so happy I am now able to sync my Outlook.com email, calendar and contacts. This is awesome.

To those Outlook.com users that are having issues when entering the Webmail page on the new account form, use https://Outlook.live.com/owa/ (don't forget that last forward slash!).

DEVs, I've sent you an email regarding this.

I need to purchase the paid version, but I don't have a credit card. I would like to pay using Alipay.

Tato recenze je pro předchozí verzi doplňku (1.4.9). 

Hi, I understand that you don't have a credit card. That's one reason why we support PayPal. Can you use PayPal?

Supporting an additional payment processor is several weeks (!) of work for us, plus maintenance. They all work differently, regarding how subscriptions work, how they authenticate the payment, and whether they guarantee us payment after completing the payment process. Some even retract payment after approving it. So, we can support only a small number of payment methods, and credit card and paypal are the most widespread that meet the criteria.

Priceless extension! I have had all kind of issues with my org M365 before I installed this extension. It eventually stopped working due security updates kept rolling out. Also, I didn't have calendar and contact sync and I thought that was not important anyway. Now that I have everything in one place, I regret the hassle I had to go through flipping between Thunderbird and outlook. Good job!

This product was working perfect, bought a license for 1 year which should be active after the month trail. Reach out to the support department via mail, and never received a reply for a solution..


FYI: Had contact with the support department after this review, which was very fast! solved also the issue. Which was a technical issue at my side SORRY!

Hi Berry, I see no open issue in our ticket system that's could be yours. It's possible that we replied to you, but your mail server ate the email as spam. That happens a lot. Can you maybe email us from another email address? If possible, reference your previous issue and this rating, so that we can make the link. Be sure to mention all your email addresses, so that we can find your license and fix the issue.

We are there to help users, and we do what we can. There must have been a communication breakdown in this case.

I’m moving from Outlook to Thunderbird, and this extension seems to be the only working solution to sync calendars and contacts from my Microsoft account at the moment. Thanks for your work!
When I open Thunderbird, I see a Microsoft page open in a separate tab, then it disappears. Is it possible to not show it at all?

You're welcome. We are happy that our extension is useful for you.

That's a nice idea. We will look into that.

Truly a PnP bit of software. My line of work (software developer myself, but entirely different ecosystem and scope) is unaffected by the more advanced quirks of this addon. I need it to speak micro$ corporate, it speaks micro$ corporate, fluently, for me. No issue with mail. If you're being forced into outlook for any reason, give this a shot instead. Happy user for three? four? years. I forget. Bill comes start of year, gets paid, everything streamlined. Set-it-and-forget-it. Well worth the price (and then some)

This is a great add-on. It works well with emails, calendars, and contacts. Unfortunately, the Teams integration does not work well. I can access the chat interface, but I cannot join or start a meeting. The session just closes suddenly. I am using Ubuntu 25.10. I tried it with the Snap and DEB packages, too, but the result was the same.

Hi, thanks for your nice review! I'm happy that you find the Owl useful.

Yes, the Teams integration is just a nice goodie that we added, but we're aware that it doesn't work well with all meetings. That's why we don't advertize it anywhere. If you find it useful, e.g. for chat, then good. If not, you can just ignore it.
