Re: [ubuntu-uk] Problem with Mail set up in Ubuntu 13.10
Just a little nitpick...

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Problem with Mail set up in Ubuntu 13.10
Try using m.outlook.com as the server name, works for me certainly for IMAP and SMTP. I found that buried in a help and support article on the Microsoft website a few months ago and it's working right now on Thunderbird, Ubuntu 13.10. For some bizarre reason unbeknown to everyone the settings given in OWA simply don't work. On 27/01/14 08:51, Gordon Burgess-Parker wrote: Anyone got any thoughts on this?

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Problem with Mail set up in Ubuntu 13.10
Spot on! Unfortunately it now appears that the Exchange EWS add-in (to sync Contacts, Calendar and Tasks) doesn't work with that server, and neither does it work with the correct server either, so it's on to Plan B. Change my Exchange Server account to a plain IMAP account, and useFruux https://fruux.com/ to sync Contacts, calendar and Tasks. (Besides which, it's much cheaper than Office 365 and Open Source!)

Re: [ubuntu-uk] Problem with Mail set up in Ubuntu 13.10
Well regrettably the only thing I know of to connect to Exchange using thunderbird is ExQuilla which is not free. I think Evolution does/used to connect directly to EWS though - but it isn't my email application of choice. On 27/01/14 17:54, Gordon Burgess-Parker wrote: Spot on!

Yes - and it's open source and it's not American! (Not that I have anything against Americans per se, but it's nice to see something like that in Europe!)
