@thunderbird i use TB since eternity, but to be fair, i also found 2 outlook apps installed on my windows 11 and they also do not work

@thunderbird "App not authorized"

@thunderbird I'd bet mone it's running babyian on PowerPC 64-bit, so it wouldn't even be difficult.

More like replacing one problem with another. My #thunderbird was taking 10 seconds to handshake and read my outlook mail. I switched to #betterbird and that problem disappeared.
If you look at all the outstanding bug requests on #tbird, you'll see why #Mozilla products are no longer the browser/email client of choice.

@thunderbird "Thunderbirds are Go"

@thunderbird Ah someone finally updated it ?
-
@thunderbird at least they'd had a todo list app builtin… and some chat to friends (like me) too…
-
@thunderbird For Exchange server backend you definitely want to use #Evolution

@portlandia999 @thunderbird oh, I'm sorry you're experiencing issues.
Would you mind reporting the bug in bugzilla, or sending me a message directly?
Betterbird is a soft fork of Thunderbird, so the protocol code is exactly the same.
It might be that your problem was solved when setting up a new profile in Betterbird for different reasons, but I would love to investigate and solve your problem, so you can come back and not use a less secure version of Thunderbird

@theron29 @thunderbird We support EWS since late last year, so NASA really has no excuses

After an update, TB started doing 6 or more handshakes to read 2 Outlook inboxes.
I updated again and it didn't fix it, so I tried BB which worked. BB uses the same TB profile so that is not the issue.
I would normally try TB updates until the issue is fixed, but with Mozilla putting AI into its products, I prefer to use alternative forks which don't (including Waterfox). If that changes I will consider switching back.
Thx

@thunderbird
In all fairness, Thunderbird runs like treacle, even on a modern well specced PC. -
@SeanPLynch @thunderbird In space, the only solution I would see fit is mutt. Maybe make a symlink and call it laika

@portlandia999 @thunderbird I'm sure you know this already, but just in case, Thunderbird development is independent from the general Mozilla push for AI.
We're not adding any AI features in Thunderbird and we're not planning to do that.
Maybe add-ons in the future, but just for those users that want to experiment with it.Anyway, I would love to help you fix your issues since we want to improve support for Outlook inboxes.
Let me know if you feel comfortable reporting a bug.

CheersOk, good to know.
I now have separate profiles for TB and BB because updating TB locks out BB. So based on what you've said, I will continue to update TB and the problem will hopefully be fixed at some point, so I will consider switching back since I've used TB a long time.
A lazy approach, but sorry, not much for doing bug reporting.
Thx
