BISCUITS: Hmm...have you tried looking at the server settings for Webmail? Turn on all 3: POP, SMTP, IMAP and check the 'Enable at startup' boxes. Also make sure the port corresponds to that set for your Thunderbird account.

Why is it giving me an X? This is under webmail/preferences/domains

The problem with that is, even if I get it working, I think it will take my messages off of mys erver and delete them, which is not what I want to do.
Can you confirm?

Double check the URI for the server settings. Some URI's are https:// only. Also, see if you need to include the NT domain before your username to login. Ex. "DOMAIN\username@mydomain".
If both fails, I suggest posting your problem on their discussion board: http://groups.google.com/group/thunderbird-webm...
And to answer your question: Messages stay on the server. Messages also copy to the sent folder on the server too.

Change your ports to something else. Some operating systems block ports below 1024.

Unfortunately, I'm now experiencing the same 'negative vibe' problem some of the others have reported. I'll update if find a fix - anybody made any headway on this issue yet?

This Thunderbird plug-in is definitely not ideal, but it works as described and it is stable. This is more important than an unstable Evolution where they live with this bug for almost 3 years.

Thanks for the solution : I really appreciate - specially since it bypasses Micros... system (Outlk).
Should publish your tip on thunderbird website / forum... know a lot of people that would appreciate too...

Let say that my email at OWA is "myname@rst.uvwx.yy",
(therefore the domain is "rst.uvwx.yy")
and that my domain/user name for accessing OWA is "domain/username".
In configuring Thunderbird, I used as username "domain/username@rst.uvwx.yy" which is a mix of my domain/username + the domain (and not my email adress).
It worked fine therafter !
Good luck guys !

A tip for those that have problems:
Under Webmail - OWA addin-options, make sure a domain is defined that matches your username@domain under Server Settings. If you log into outlook web without a domain as I do, make sure "Use domain..." is unchecked under Webmail - OWA options/Accounts/Login.

My email address is: name.surname@xxx.yy but when I login via web I have to insert xxxnet\name.surname (i.e. domain before the username is different by domain after @)
I tried all the combination of "screen ripper/web dabv",
How can I solve it?? Peter, please help me!!
Thanks

Tnx for this tutorial, it's been quite helpful but still it took me like two hours to manage my thunderbird to work perfectly:) For Others that may have problems with configuration: I took the same steps wich peter described on this page. It all goes well, until 3rd step. I tried writing my whole email but it somehow didn't work. Then I entered only my username for that mail and that helped. But there's still not over with the problems. In server name box wich Peter described you should enter localhost - you need to enter your own domain. example: john.smith@workgroup-office.com --- > you need to enter in server name box the following: workgroup-office.com. I did so and now it works perfectly. You must do the same in outgoing server name;)
Peter tnx again;)
