I know I should not complain about this because: if it’s not broken, don’t fix it, but I don’t like command line web browsers either, so call me crazy… I have problems occasionally with the Google calendar provider and exchange is extremely poorly supported (see the endless forks and wars of Github repos: Ericsson, ExchangeCalendar, etc).
For calendar support, Lightning is still a hobby project. I agree that most EAS servers offer IMAP and SMTP enpoints for compatibility, configuring this manually is so tiring … There is nothing wrong with this protocol. I know that the purists will shout blasphemy at me, but I am pretty sure that many businesses use exchange servers for they daily activities. This has been improved in recent versions of Thunderbird by adding a browser sign in for Gmail… If you look at their KB page, this is still causing problems to some people… NO real two factor authentication for OAuth 2. I am an old Thunderbird customer, but I still have a few problems with it: All these can be configured as plain old IMAP accounts in the end, but I prefer my GMail setup with OAuth2 and with contact support. I have three e-mail accounts that I use constantly: Google GMail, Office365 (Microsoft Exchange) and plain old IMAP/SMTP. I don’t have any involvement in the project (other than a small code contribution). I’ll keep you posted with my honest findings. #Mailspring ubuntu update#
Update (): I have decided to write an update of this article due to its popularity so far. Thought that there might be better options available. I have been using Thunderbird for a while now and was pretty satisfied.
For the past few weeks, I have been testing various email clients on Ubuntu 16.04.
