Re: OT - Outlook Web access for Thunderbird. Just sharing

Hello, I just thought I would share this.

Over a year ago, our corporation made the move to Exchange server without imap or pop access. :( This upset many, including the Windows users.

I tried to work with Evolution from the day I was forced to change but never got comfortable. I hated the interface (to much like Outlook) and it was so slow to get mail. As a compromise, I would get my mail with Evolution and export it to TB to read.

Over the year I looked at other options. I came across this nice little JAVA application that will get the mail through webDAV and save it as an mbox file. Now I don't have to even touch Evolution to get my email.

fetchExc - fetches mail with webDAV from MS Exchange 2000/2003 servers

I hope that something like this can be incorporated into TB.

Hope it helps someone else.


"webDAV" you say?
That's interesting because old Hotmail accounts are able to communicate using something that's called "WebDav". If it's the same one, then WebMail/Hotmail TB extension might already work with Outlook Web Access.
If it doesn't already work, I'm sure the developer/maintainer of that extension can add this feature :)

P.S. after a quick lookup, it looks like (s)he is already working on it. See http://groups.google.com/group/thunderbird-webmail-extension
