- Thunderbird version 145 now supports native Microsoft Exchange email via Exchange Web Services (EWS).
- Users no longer need third-party add-ons for email functionality with Exchange accounts.
- Calendar and address book support for Exchange are planned for future updates.
- Setup is simplified with automatic account detection and Microsoft's OAuth2 sign-in process.
- Currently supported features include email operations, folder management, and attachments.
- Future updates will add support for Microsoft Graph, calendar, and contacts synchronization.
- Exchange Web Services (EWS) is being phased out by Microsoft in favor of Microsoft Graph.
- Thunderbird aims to become a complete solution for Exchange users, competing with Outlook.
