Brilliant post Peter! Thanks. I got it working finally after changing my username to use my username that I use when connecting via a browser (which is not in email address dotted and @ed format – just a simple domain username) and also change the server settings in Tbird to use the IP address of my OWA website instead of localhost.

Fab! The only think I'm wondering now is if it's possible to get all my additional folders that I have under my inbox? At the moment it's only getting the new mail – is this because it's using POP3?

Regards
Bryn

Hi,

just want to everyone to know, that Thunderbird does work wih MS Exchange Server 2003 through SecuRemote VPN-1 (keyFOB) hardware token.

Configuration steps explained in Pete's Tutorial works great, but, this must be modified to include the following:

You need to enter in server name box the name of your OWA Server (and not localhost which is default)

Thunderbird is accessing the MS Exchange Server thru OWA just fine.

Thanks to all for their comments.

Hello.
I don't understand the "inside the domain" version
May you explain URI "from inside"? I would to use Thunderbird at office.

Domain = companyname.com is clear

URI = http://server.domainname.local/owa is not clear.

What have i to write? Are the words "server" and "local" for example?
Our domainsname is like companyName_one or companyName_intra (ITmen use the same word (companyName) used in the URL www.companyName.it).
Should i write http://server.companyName_one.local/owa or not?
In this case, it does not work.

Many thanks in advance
