It worked until yesterday evening but after Thunderbird was upgraded to version 137 this morning, the add-in no longer works. i hope that the owl developers act quickly.
But still, very usefull if you have to deal with Office365 accounts
We're working on the TB 137 support. I'm sorry that we didn't make it in time for the release. This is a new (and very challenging) process for us, so we're still learning how to deal with the monthly releases.
UPDATE: We have Owl 1.3.7 for Thunderbird 137 ready. It's been reviewed and is online in TB addon store for updates.

Used to work great, doing exactly what it claimed. However it is currently broken for TB 137. Hopefully there's an update soon, however I've not heard back from the developer.

We're hoping to have the release ready in a few days.

Great plugin that really surpassed my expectations by including a really convenient fully-fledged Teams integration into Thunderbird. I was originally only looking for a simple solution to sync my O365 calendar.
The 1 lacking star is for a bug I've had to work around. The initial MS login part of the setup procedure has to be done under X11 when running Linux. Not that big a deal, but still.

It used to work pretty well, but since I migrated from TB 128 ESR to TB 136 release, I've found two very annoying bugs:
- It doesn't work if you have Unified Folders, because the Inbox is not shown in the unified Inbox folder.
- The Filters doesn't apply automatically, you have to apply it manually every time.
Authors of the addon aren't responding to emails.

This addon is very good, and I have been using it for several years. The icing on the cake is that there is a top-notch, highly responsive team behind it! The version 1.3.6 is good

After trying to fight to setup O365 for a couple of days I decided to try Owl.
I can say is worth every penny. Very straightforward setup and it even adds a tab with Teams. I can finally see all my folders, which I couldn't with IMAP.
If you use O365 on a daily basis, it is definitely worth the asking price.
Thanks for your kind words! This is very encouraging for us.

Thank you for this extension

This is a great addon.
It would be even better if I was able to hide folders from the account that I do not want to see. Just like the SubScribe/Unsubscribe functionality in an IMAP account.
For example I would like yo hide the Archive for day to day use.

Thank you for this great extension.
Are you planning to support the Thunderbird RELEASE channel ? The extension is stuck to version 128 (ESR) at the moment.

Owl works globally well, but I have a question regarding one of my Exchange accounts installed on Thunderbird and running with Owl:
Is there a way, in Thunderbird, to add to one of my two Exchange accounts a shared mail box linked to that account? Thanks for your answer

This add-on is amazing it just works.
Note: I something sees some errors reply to calendar invites,
but that is the only problem I have ever experienced and
honestly I am not convinced that it is not the exchange server there is the problem.

excellent service and unbeatable price

Brilliant add on. Works reliably.
I am using it mainly to access my work outlook calendar in thunderbird.
If any issues crop up (usually due to changes in Thunderbird) these get fixed really quick.

Amazing!
How negative reviews magically disappear!

Owl Add-on works good.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.2).Sorry, but manually moving app data folders on disk is not something we can support.
If you want a backup, you can run a copy script and copy the files where you want them.

July 10, 2024 :
After the latest upgrade to version 1.3 on July 10, 2024, there are a few issue happened :
1. Folder automatically all expanded
2. Some folder / sub-folder(s) are missed
Anyone experience this as well ??
Hi Raymond, could you please report bugs to owl.support@beonex.com ? The reviews here are not intended for bug reports, and they don't give us enough information to investigate and fix the bugs. We would like to fix the bugs.
If you could please write all technical detail information to our support? They have instructions to forward those bug reports to the development team, particularly after an update like this one.
For this particular issue:
1. Do the folders stay expanded after you collapse them, or do they expand only once?
2. Which folders are still showing up, and which folders are now missing which showed up before?
3. Can you please include the console output (TB menu | Dev | Error console)?
UPDATE: Owl version 1.3.1 fixes the issue. We're waiting for Thunderbird staff to publish the new version.
Meanwhile, you can find it at https://www.beonex.com/owl/owl.xpi

OUTSTANDING customer service. The product works as advertised but what puts the company above all others is their customer service. I had some issues setting it up so I contacted them. Many companies take a day or two to respond, if ever. These folks responded within an hour every time I contacted them. Their solutions were spot on. I was able to get back going promptly.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.2.4).Hey Tom, I'm very happy that we served you well, and for your positive feedback!
Kind greetings,
Ben

Still working great with TB 115. I've been using Owl with TB 115 for a while now and haven't noticed any slowdowns or other problems. We are forced to change our server password every 6 months, and in the past that seemed to require me to delete the account in TB and set it up again. However, the last PW change seems to have been handle smoothly. When TB started up it told me the login had failed and prompted me for the password. I entered it, checked the "save" box, and everything "just worked". I don't know if I was doing something wrong in the past, or if it's due to a TB or Owl update, but the one trivial problem I had run into seems to have gone away.

Works out of the box. Comes with one month free trial, which is wonderful for testing or one off usage.
Costs a fraction of the service which it interfaces to.
