I have a outlook exchange account witch I would like to use with Thunderbird. Is this possible already ore coming up? Maybe in the new Thunderbird?

An other question, not so important. The classic view will it be possible in the new versions? I'm forced to use outlook. I just can't accustom to it. I hate it. So I want all my mail under Thunderbird classic layout.

Chosen solution

Both add-ons have a one-month free trial, so I suggest you install one and test it. Start with Owl.

I think you can do this with the Owl add-on:

https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/owl-for-exchange/

You can read about the work to incorporate 'modern authentication' here.

Classic, Wide and Vertical views are the available Layouts in TB 78.

Thanks, I Read it, Owl is a solution. How about ExQuilla for Exchange, also a thunderbird add-on? I don't know whats the difference. Then I found this. Configuring Exchange Online with IMAP & OAuth2 I just don't know what to try first. I am a layman in this field.

I am a layman in this field. Witch approach I could start with? Owl must be payed for, but that amount is negligible.

Both add-ons are by the same author, and both requires a license. Owl is for OWA and ExQuilla is for EWS, so the choice depends on your account (ask the system administrator).

The local system administrator thinks I must use OWL, but didn't know about ExQuilla. The Head administrator don't want to help. It is policy to not help with not standard programs... I have to login in the mentioned mail with https://outlook.office.com/mail/ Can you determine with this what I need? The license fee is about €10 for a year for ass well Owl as ExQuilla . So this is no problem.
