Thunderbird is my go-to client in any company I work at if I can figure out how to make it work.
For those of you at companies with newer Outlook exchange servers( http://i.imgur.com/J31q7xo.png http://i.imgur.com/J31q7xo.png ) or the even newest-newer( http://i.imgur.com/7eX8S1e.png http://i.imgur.com/7eX8S1e.png ), get davmail proxy server. http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ http://davmail.sourceforge.net/ ...and you have to get the Lightning plugin to handle the exchange-calendar stuff.

Disclaimer: Don't ask me about how trustworthy davmail is with handling full access to you email account. I just know a lot of people use it and I've never heard negative. Though honestly, I wish mozilla would just acquire the project and provide a verified source & binary on their site. Or just do whatever davmail is doing directly in the thunderbird code.
- stephen 12y ago+1 to davmail proxy; it is incredibly important to my productivity. I actually donated some money to the developer, but I should do it again. The davmail code even handles Outlook having two-factor auth enabled, e.g. it'll recognize the extra form field, ask you to enter your token once, and then keep the session open, just like keeping the webapp loaded in your browser tab.
- kylek 12y agoThanks for this, going to try it out. I've tried hard in the past to get thunderbird to work properly and end up just using Outlook in a windows VM, feeling like there is absolutely no good alternative to it.
- zeendo 12y agoDavmail was a lifesaver for me in the past. My current client however uses Office365 but authentication happens against the client's AD and that seems to prevent Davmail from being able to log in.... :/
