I am currently using Thunderbird version 140.10.2 esr. (32bit) I understand that to latest version is 150. I also understand that, from version 145, Microsoft Exchange accounts are supported natively by Thunderbird.

I am using a generic desktop PC running Windows 10 Pro (22H2)

I am having difficulties with an Exchange account using the OWL add on.

I would like to upgrade my Thunderbird to the latest version and use the native support for Exchange accounts. I would also, if possible, like to upgrade to a 64bit version.

When I follow the instructions (Help/Update Thunderbird) the pop up reports that 'Thunderbird is up to date'.

I can't see a way forward at present, can someone assist please.

You are being told it is up to date because you are using the ESR version, For the monthly (now the default) version, download from thunderbird.net and install version 150

Thank you for your reply. I've tried to download and install the latest version (150) and I am hit with an error message that states: Sorry, Thunderbird can't be installed. This version of Thunderbird requires Microsoft Windows 10 x64 or newer. Please click the OK Button for additional information.

According to the System Specification, my system is running Windows 10 Pro and the System Type states '64-bit operating system, x64 based processor'. The system also complies with the System Requirements shown in the explanation page that comes up, in that it has a 3.00Ghz processor, 8Gb Ram and 2.26Tb attached storage.


Thanks again
