I see this very much as a Microsoft problem rather than a Thunderbird problem, although I appreciate that doesn't make your situation better.
I use davmail[1] to solve this problem at work. Davmail sits in your tray, connects to exchange and turns the exchange traffic into standards-compliant mail traffic for your email client.
Of course, you lose some features in the process. About once a month I have to remind HR that the "vote" buttons in exchange are not part of any email client except outlook. Still, it works well for sending/receiving mail and tolerably for handling calendar invites.

- smarx007 9y agoCan you see the calendar availability of everyone who you invite as Outlook shows?
- Sir_Substance 9y agoI have no idea, I mostly use the calendar for receiving invites to meetings. Try it and let me know?
- syshum 9y ago>>I see this very much as a Microsoft problem rather than a Thunderbird problem, In a away yes, but is also a Standards Problem. the Email Standards are shit and have needed to be updated for atleast 2 decades now but no one can agree on what should replace them. For all of Microsoft failings, EWS and even ActiveSync is superior for syncing a users Mailbox, Calendar and other communication data between a central mail server and many clients...
