My university just turned off imap due to "security concerns" and want us to use Outlook or outlook web access.

Is there an Outlook conduit in the works? Is there any hope for me?

Forwarding is explicitly against policy.

I have used Thunderbird since the early days and I like having cross-platform open-options. Actually started on Mosaic and would probably still be using NS Communicator 4.6 if I could.

if you have been around a while you are probably familiar enough with ports and servers to use davmail.

I blogged about it back in 2011 when I had an exchange server and it did the job for me. https://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com/2011/11/thunderbird-and-exchange-owa.html

http://davmail.sourceforge.net/index.html

Then there is the exquilla add-on, but it's days are numbered. https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/exquilla-exchange-web-services/?src=search

Exquilla replacement? https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/owl-for-exchange/?src=search

Calendar https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-microsoft-exchang/?src=search

Contacts tasks and Calendar https://addons.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/addon/tbsync/?src=search

I have not had an exchange server for some years now, but those are the add-ons that are available, but as I said I used davmail because it "just worked" once configured and had no Thunderbird dependencies, a new version did not break an add-on.

Thanks! I did a little google but managed to not find those options at first glance.

My IT folks tell me to give up as two-factor is going to break everything but Outlook when they turn that on in a few weeks...
