Hi New here!

Ok, not very technical and do my best to get by so, I am using thunderbird for the first time, particularly because it is preferred by new job.

I have created and synced email account no issues there at the moment.

But my main issue is linking my outlook account and contacts. I don't use MS 360 just outlook.com

I have spend hours trying to figure this out, I have tried "Exchange EWS Provider" but for this I need to know my ews serivers address for outlook and I have searched everywhere to find this with no luck, as well I try auto discovery and I get the following message:

"It was not possible find settings through autodisvoery using the domain name part of the mailbox([email protected]) Usually this means there is not an autodiscovery server defined with the domain name part as hostname.

I have also tried Davmail Gateway, managed to create calendar but its not sync, I get an error from DavMail saying

"Error Non ExistingMailbox - the smtp address has no mailbox associated with it"

As For contacts running into same issues espically since it is also depend on the ews server.

Ok, that is about as far as I can go any help would be much appreciated !!

Syncing mail with an Exchange Server is a bit more complicated than just syncing contacts and calendars with an outlook.com account. There are a couple of add-ons that do this, although I haven't tried them myself:
