Hi All, I have a windows 10 computer and want an alternative to Microsoft Outlook so I installed Thunderbird today. I really like the programme and got my mail to sync straight away and works fine but I cannot get my msn.com calender to sync with Lightning. Can anyone assist with a link on how to set up the sync or is it not possible to do it ? Thanks in advance

Chosen solution

Install TbSync and Provider for Exchange ActiveSync and add the MSN account in TbSync settings. It should sync both calendars and contacts.

It work with my Hotmail account, so it should also work with msn/outlook.com accounts.

For MSN email – myname@msn.com I was able to use TBSYNCH and Provider for Exchange Active Synch to synch my calendar with full read and edit as follows: Download and activate the TBSYNCH and Provider for Exchange Active Synch as in other responses see links below.

Follow the [[how-to-get-started guide|https://github.com/jobisoft/TbSync/wiki/How-to-get-started]] instructions in TBsynch to add account DIFFERENCE : Select Exchange Active Synch and use custom configuration For MSN accounts use the server address imap-mail.outlook.com

Set the periodic synchronization time to 1 minute for best results or acceptable time otherwise it will not refresh.
