To make this work I needed to make some slight changes to the domain name I typed in to the Webmail - OWA options. When I log on to my webmail, in the box where it asks for username I usually need to put a domain, then a backslash, then my username, so: domain/username, but this domain isn't the same as the domain which is part of my email address. I found that I could only get Thunderbird to access my email if I changed the domain in the Webmail - OWA options to be the domain name that I use as part of my webmail log-on, then a dot, then the domain which is the part of my email address.

Worked perfect first time, although I cannot send outgoing attachments. I receive them perfectly. Seems like that's just the way it works...if I need to attach I'll just log onto the web interface.

Thank you very much for this tutorial!

Thanks Peter!

OK. I configured it, and it downloaded several old emails -- about 3 minutes into it I get this message: "mail server localhost responded negative vibes"; any advice?

Hey!!

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;)

My company uses domain/windows user e.g. CAMEL/jbloggs for the username and then the password. It seems that this plugin is only capable of sending the email address entered in thunderbird as the username and it wont recognise my domain slash username as a domain name in the OWA options (one assumes so it can regex from the email addresses in thunderbird) Is there anyway to actually send a username other than the email address?

Never mind about the htaccess comment... I just realized this old dialog box is just how OWA takes it's user/password.

Re: HOWTO: Configure Microsoft Exchange and Outlook Web Access for Thunderbird

Dan Lundmark — Thu, 11 Dec 2008 16:31:12 -0000

This looks like it should work for me - but this company server has an .htaccess password on it: https://webmail.domainxyz.com/exchange/ . When I connect in a browser, a dialog pops up and I enter a user/pw before I can see my Outlook Webmail. Is there a place I can enter htaccess user/password in this Thunderbird Webmail / OWA add-on? Thanks!

Thanks a lot for that guide - had some trouble getting the settings correct for my OWA server but now it seems to be working (for incoming at least) I shall write up a guide with all the specifics for the rest of my University.

May I post the WebMail log?? Maybe it could be usefull to help me

Re: HOWTO: Configure Microsoft Exchange and Outlook Web Access for Thunderbird

Alessandro — Tue, 14 Oct 2008 06:24:58 -0000

Hi, I'm getting crazy with "negative vibes"... :(

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
Alessandro

Wow, works like a champ!!

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.

I did the same as VCT but still got the same "negative vibes" message

Re: HOWTO: Configure Microsoft Exchange and Outlook Web Access for Thunderbird

Justin — Wed, 24 Sep 2008 15:47:28 -0000

I tried the add on. It doesn't work. I get an error message that my mail server is an unsupported domain. Also, I can't get it to set up as IMAP, nor can I get the IMAP domain to show up checked under the domains tab.
