The Thunderbird desktop mail client is far better (feature-rich, stable, interoperable) than any webmail or phone app mail client I've ever seen.
Just wish it had native exchange activesync support, since we’re forced to use exchange accounts at work, and Microsoft no longer allows using M365 accounts directly via IMAP (you need to register applications in Azure that can instead use IMAP)
Stuck using BlueMail instead since it’s the only desktop client that mostly supports EAS. Aside from MailSpring but it had no calendar support despite being promised for years.
Can’t use Outlook since I’m on Linux and running a VM for it is a bit heavy. And I can’t stand outlook web.
There’s a hacky effort to make this easier https://github.com/virtuald/ews-proxy
This connects to REST endpoints that Outlook web interface uses and translates it to EWS… which can be translated to IMAP
That’s quite roundabout. My question is whether or not I’d have the same feature set as I currently do with BlueMail. I’ll do a bit more research, thank you!
