A great addition that allows you to connect your office365 account in just one click! And immediately everything works!
But above all praise, the technical support team, I was surprised by such a humane attitude, it seems to be a rarity now. Thank you so much for a wonderful job in every way!

I'm fully aware that is not that easy to implement something that is working with the Microsoft Outlook out of the box and this extension seem to work quite fine, which make it really easy to use.
What I didn't manage to do till now is to subscribe to an shared account calendar. Maybe I just oversee this option but I would really apreaciate if there is more docuremtation what is possible and what still have to be implemented.
Regards
Niko

Thank you for the update. The owl team has been working hard on this despite the fact the error might come primary from o365 server update!
Friendly speaking, I has used owl for several years and it has been a good add-ons to user with the exchange o365 server.

Problems fixed! I'm back in action! Amazing response to get thinks fixed!
//Still a great add in but the recent Office365 change has me down. I didn't check here before I removed the account and tried to re-add it. Can't log back in to Office either. Guess I'll hobble along on Outlook until this is fixed.

I use Thunderbird. I like Thunderbird. OWL lets me do my work email my way rather than caving in to my work's preference that I use Microsoft products. I store my messages locally on my computer rather than on the server. MailBird is not a good substitute. I was looking into making MailBird and MailStore Home substitute for Thunderbird and OWL because OWL stopped working last night. I am delighted and very relieved that OWL was fixed. Now I have to go and catch up on email!

The last two years owl worked nicely with office365 exchange (OWA) and i was very pleased.
Outlook is missing a lot of search features and is very uncomfortable when different EMail providers and formats are used. OWL enables to read emails and use the calendar of exchange.
But Caveat! Microsoft makes it hard for add-ons by changing the interface.
From around Januar 6th to January 10th suddenly a number of problems occured:
- attachments were not downloaded (their name visible but strikethrough)
- ctrl+u to show the source code of messages showed a white page
- reply to emails had neither the address nor the original email cited
It looked like the OWA authentification did not allow the download of emails but only displaying emails.
(Versions: TB 102.6.1 and owl 1.0.1)
I sent a bug report here on January 9th in the afternoon, and on January 10th the bug was fixed (1.0.2). Great service.
Thank you very much!
Hi Sporer, thank you for the kind words. We understand that you depend on email, and we strive to keep it working as reliable as we can. Yes, we tried our best to fix the problem as soon as possible, immediately when we became aware of it. I'm happy to hear that the problem is now fixed for you!
Thank you.
Enjoy :-)

Prima geholpen. Ben zelf alleen een gebruiker en heb weinig verstand van computers. Mijn email werkte niet meer en werd net zo lang geholpen totdat alles weer werkte. Nogmaals bedankt

Simple email communication and very basic calendar functionality works.
However, the integration into thunderbird is only very limited and the calendar lacks a lot of features.
Meeting invitations only work sometimes.
If you get an invitation via a mail distribution list (e.g. all-assisants@your-work-mail), the meeting invitation is not handled correctly and an error occurs if you try to accept the invitation or if you somehow try to edit the calendar event.
Moreover, only my main calendar gets synced to thunderbird. If I create more calendars, there is no possibility to add those in thunderbird. Or If you unsubscribe from one calendar, you cannot add it again.
Moreover, all the free/busy calendars from my colleges cannot be added to thunderbird.
The API apparently exists, since it is possible to see the availability if you create a dummy calendar event with one of your colleges as an attendee.
I also wrote an issue about this on their issue tracker, but no response within the last weeks.
Shared and public calendars can also not be added.
Though, all these features are available in the Evolution mail client, so it must be possible and it is completely free.
The only reason I switched to thunderbird, was the possibility to use other addons, which are not available in evolution.
So I would be very happy, if the integration with microsoft exchange will be as good as the one in evolution at some point in time.
I am not sure if I would pay again for this addon, since it is currently as good as just using IMAP for the mail communication, since I cannot really use the calendar functions right now.
Though, I would be happy to pay even more, if all functionalities are available.
Edit:
Ok, it is fair to acknowledge, that full calendar functionality is not advertised for this add-on.
Hi Fred, I'm sorry that you're having trouble with the calendar feature. Indeed, we would like to improve the calendar feature in the future.
Please note that calendar functionality is still in beta and not an advertized feature here on this page nor on our website. This is deliberate, because we know that our calendar feature still has some shortcomings. Could you please base your product review and rating on the features that we promised here on this page, specifically receiving and sending emails?

Great app that saves a lot of hassle and allows to keep all email accounts and calendars in a single space (I've been using it for a few years).
Also, fantastic support; a very reassuring experience contacting them and receiving attentive response.

I can confirm the issue of the calendar not updating when an event from 365 is deleted is solved with the Owl 0.8.4. Thank you very much for the support!
