Thunderbird 52 / Lightning 5.4 support

[bren-m]

Hi All,

Thunderbird auto-upgraded to version 52 today and as a result Lightning upgraded to 5.4.

I can no longer connect to my Exchange server using the Exchange Calendar add-on versions 3.8.0 or 3.9.0.

Is Thunderbird 52 / Lightning 5.4 supported by this add-on or is a new version going to be released that provides support.

Thanks, Brendon

Hi All,

I also have problems with Thnderbird 52.0 As I do not use the exchange calendar any more, I only can't connect to the exchange addressbook with EWS exchange provider 3.8.0 and 3.9.0 (both testet). As I tried it more than several times, login in my account was blocked for a certain time.

It would be great, if EWS Exchangeprovider would support current version of Thunderbird too.

Thanks, bye bye Axel

Same here. Have been worried that this was going to happen for a while now (Thunderbird was eventually moving on from 48.x), yet EWS never worked properly with any version of TB past that version.

I have the same problems with Thnderbird 52.0, Lightning 5.4, Exchange EWS Provider 3.9.0. @Mechtilde: you can download new version of Thunderbird here (the official site).

Same here using 3.9.0 with TB 52.0:

• no prompt for password after the HTTP 401 sent by the server
• when password is set in the password manager, the connection aborts after receiving the 401 Simply extending the version compat form 50.* to 52.* in the install.rdf has no effect

Edit: duplicate of issue #576

[oaxjogi]

me, too :-( Any help needed to get it done?

[sleeksorrow]

Tried davmail for the meantime, but although it worked back then, now it only shows events with no title and content. So I went back to thunderbird 48 from Ubuntu repositories. :(

[soerenbe]

Same issue here. The Plugin don't ask for a Password when setting up a calendar. Does anybody know a workaround beside keeping Thunderbird 48.*?

[red667]

Same for me :( Any news on how to fix this problem?

[kragil]

Me too.

[TheUntouchable]

Same here! An exisiting calender does not sync anymore!

[aprokop]

I don't know if we should expect a reply any time soon. It seems that the project has been inactive for about 9 months. Anyone knows of an alternative?

[BlackLotus]

Davmail is an alternative that was already mentioned. But you are wrong when saying that the project is dead and inactive for 9months. The 4.0 branch was active 3 months ago

Sorry, my bad. This is the n-th time I get hit by the fact that Github does not really show activity in any of the branches by default unless you go looking for it.

[rkent]

I have not looked at the code for this for years, but testing it on Thunderbird 52 showed an obvious syntax error from some really old, obsolete javascript that caused a key file to fail. I fixed this by commenting out that function (that deals with setting tags for messages, probably not that commonly used).

Try this version:

If that fixes the main non-working issue y'all are having I'll rewrite those few lines of code to get this working again.

[ogjerstad]

Thank you, but didn't seem to make any difference in my case. TB 52, Lightning 5.4, Fedora Linux 25.

[bren-m]

Thanks for looking at this but it didn't work for me either.

If I statically enter my known working Exchange credentials I get a HTTP 401 failure (and no prompt for my password):

Error during checking of server and mailbox: HTTP Client error 401: Unauthorized URL:https://mail..com/ews/exchange.asmx

If I use Exchange autodiscovery I get a HTTP 403 failure:

Error during autodiscovery: HTTP Client error 403: Forbidden URL:http://autodiscover..com/autodiscover/autodiscover.xml

Not sure what parts of the log files is more interesting, and where exactly to start cut&paste from the log file, but here goes:

I tried to have a look at the difference between TB 45.* and 52.* on my link machine.

It seems some of the error messages where already there in TB 45.*. So maybe this is not the source of the error?

TB 52.0.1

It seems like the core developer of this extensions is no longer active in this repo. Maybe it helps, if I highlight him here. @bavincen :-)
