"strict_max_version": "138.*" in manifest.json prevent TB 139 to use the add-on

once the manifest.json modified to allow TB 139 the plugins works :)

For this I manually downloaded the master commit, modified the manifest.json, remove one directory level to repacked as zip and manually install the add-on

Thanks, that perfectly works. 1- I downloaded the xpi (2 modules are impacted for my configuration ; also exchange active sync). 2- I changed xpi to zip. 3- I modified the 2 manifest.json, changed 138.* to 139.* in both. 4- I changed zip to xpi 5- I manually imported the 2 modules and activated them 6- That works !!!

Not that it saves much time, but after you've zipped the changes, you don't have to change zip to xpi. Thunderbird will install if it's .zip.

Can you post your .zip files. I don't know how to create them with the fix. Thanks.

Thank you. I can and have been doing it myself each time it's been needed, but that saves me the hassle.

Thanks for the links to the updated plug-ins.

Does anyone have an ETA if/when the exchange server support will be built-in?
