In fact, it’s the perfect Outlook replacement.
It has a great look, doesn’t have a mailbox database corruption issue, doesn’t have a slow archiving problem. We used ExQuilla in our company but have since moved to the email client which can replace MS Outlook completely but for much less money. Email clients like Airmail, MailMate, Mailpilot and Postbox (Thunderbird fork) are example that you can earn money with Email client and that yes, you can innovate. With web email services like Gmail, Hotmail and Yahoo mail, is there a place left for normal Email client? What about companies? Would they pay for email client? The answer to both questions is a definitive yes. How come that organisation which has a product with 20 million users doesn’t care? Perhaps the reason is lack of innovation and ideas. Kent James, founder of ExQuilla, Mozilla Thunderbird is used by approx.
In July 6, 2012, Mozilla announced that they will stop financially supporting Thunderbird and transfer development to become community driven project. According to mr. From 2012 – 2014 Mozilla foundation received 900 million – 300 million annually from Google in order that Google is default search engine. In 2005 it earned a whooping 55.000.000 (million) dollars. Mozilla corporation, owned by Mozilla foundation receives about 80% of money from big corporations like Google, Yahoo and Microsoft. Mozilla foundation is funded by donations of it’s users. Most users like Thunderbird once they get used to it.
SETUP THUNDERBIRD WITH DAVMAIL TRIAL
We have a trial of 20 Thunderbird users with Equilla addon, in 8 months so far, there were no issues.
SETUP THUNDERBIRD WITH DAVMAIL LICENSE
Named user license where you have notify all the emails that will be used for X amount of purchased licences to ExQuilla. License is assigned automatically when new user is created. $10 per year is a not a lot for Exchange compatibility. There are 2 types of licences, Domain license where you buy X ammount of licences for one domain. There is a hope that it will become a complete product. While still in beta, It has support for Office 365 and Exchange 2013. Kent picked up where original author left and started a fork. Imagine that you rely on such plugin and you discover that it’s not compatible with latest release. Unfortunately author stopped plugin development. In the past there was an addon called Exchange EWS Provider Add-on for Lightning. The only 2 missing features are Calendar and Tasks. It works great and you gain access to GAL with autocomplete. Thunderbird is then transformed to MS Exchange compatible email client. The whole process takes about 3 – 5 minutes, which is not bad. I am sure one day it will get this feature, while not essential could save couple of seconds to technician / user configuring email account. Plugin could query AD to get information about logged in user and populate account information automatically.
Seting up account is quite easy and the only missing feature is automatic account set up. For $10 a year, Mozilla Thunderbird gains Exchange support for email and contacts. The other option is Mozilla Thunderbird with a commercial add on. You set up your email client with imap or pop3 and smtp and Davmail relays that information to Exchange server via Exchange protocol. First option is DavMail which is a proxy between MS Exchange and your client of choice.

What ever the reason, if you need exchange support on third party email client on Windows machine, there are only 2 options. If you are using Linux you know that Microsoft Office or Microsoft Outlook for Linux does not yet exist. MS Outlook only? Well, MS Outlook can also be expensive for some companies. First, why would you use another client and not Outlook? One reason is price, not every department really needs to use MS Office.
