Dankeschön. Mit Version 7.7.4 sind die Probleme mit der Anzeige des Posteingangs behoben. Auch das Problem mit den Doubletten bei den Kalendereinträgen ist verschwunden, die Synchronisation funktioniert.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.7.4).Wir freuen uns, dass die Probleme behoben sind!

UPDATE: I sent my error console information to the developer, as requested, and they released a new version later that day. I've been on 0.7.7.5 since yesterday, and so far, my inbox has stopped going blank. Thanks to beonex for being responsive.
Previous review: After updating to 0.7.7.2, all the messages disappeared from my inbox. To see them, I had to switch to another folder and back. As soon as I scroll, they disappear again. Invites from calendar keep coming in but I cannot dismiss them. I saw your response to another user, and updated to 0.7.7.3. I am still having the same problem.
UPDATE: I'm glad that 0.7.7.5 fixed the problem for you.
I sincerely apologize for the problems we caused you.
Greetings!

This add-on helped me to manage my Exchange email from thunderbird، and when I need a support help, I got a quick response by email
I recommend this add-on

Works great. I was also kindly helped by the support team when I wanted to cancel my subscription (when I did not need this add-on anymore).

Product works as claimed with no bugs. Once installed, I never have to think about it. Fast and responsive customer service.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.7).We appreciate very much that you enjoy our product!
We tried really had to give a smooth user experience, even though it's really difficult to do with Microsoft servers and all the different configuration options.
Reviews like yours are encouraging. Thank you!

Great plugin! However, could you support Thunderbird 84 beta version? Since when I upgraded to macOS Big Sur, the thunderbird version 78 is sloooow and works fine when I use TB84 beta version.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.7.7).I understand that TB 78 is not usable for you and TB 84 beta works for you. I'm sorry that you had such a bad experience with TB 78.
However, given that a lot of things change in each TB beta version of the course of a year, we are not able to constantly update to all betas. We can only provide compatibility support for officially supported end user releases. We have clearly marked the compatibility here on this site, to openly communicate this to users what we can do and what we cannot do.
While I understand that it's unfortunate in your particular case, I hope for your understanding.
P.S. Have you tried to override the version check and see whether Owl happens to work in TB 84 anyways?

Excellent! Support is amazing!

Well done. Finally allows all the features of a rich client like Thunderbird with my organization's Exchange server (which doesn't allow Outlook for licensing reasons).

This addon mostly works and does most of the heavy lifting involved when integrating Thunderbird with Office 365. However, despite many attempts, I cannot perform address lookups for my organization.
Plus, Beonex support does not seem to respond to support requests. However, it's still a fairly good add-on

Really happy to support these guys - this extension really is the only one of its kind. It works very well and their support is very friendly and helpful. I'm forced to use exchange at work, and this is the only solution that I've found that works on Linux for me. Highly recommended - support the developer!

This indeed does what I expect, sync my mailbox etc. Two nice things I can't find yet though:
1. Download all mail button. I've a new account added with owl and want all my emails downloaded when adding an account
2. The checkbox ' save reply in same folder' is disabled when using an account linked with owl.

Not as smooth as expected.
I was really excited after the testing phase and bought a license. Now that I work with it day by day I must say that it does not really satisfy my needs.
* Calendar is unstable:
Making appointments and processing answers to invites is really unstable.
Sometimes the appointment is not sent to others, once the event was duplicated locally and I was unable to process answers to the event. Event notifications show up delayed or not at all.
I already wrote the support, never got an answer.
When I need to create an event and invite others I need to use the OWA Web interface for now.
* Mailing part:
„Unread counter“ for mailbox folders are often outdated.
Apart from that the „mailing“ Part is really stable and ready for day-to-day use. Also the Addressbook integration works really good.
Edit: OK, wasn't aware of the fact the calendar is beta. The mailing part of the addon deserves 5 stars
The calendar is still in beta and not a promised or advertized feature.

It took a time to try OWL. I looked for a manual to install OWL. at last I just tried it. It took less than 5 min to install. Account name, password and web link to the mail. That's all whats needed. If I had knew this, I would have swiched to OWL for month.
€10? Its very reasonable.

Works very well, worth the 10 EUR !

Very helpful and well done extension. However last versions lack changelog info - would be nice to see what's changed!

Worked seemlessly. Now I want to configure a new Email Account, but I cannot find the settings to achieve that. The instructions say that there should be a button next to owl icon under addons, but there is not. Useless for me right now!
!!!EDIT!!!:
Everything works again as expected. I just updated to the newest version of Thunderbird (78.2.1) before the bug arose, but I don't think that the update is the source of the bug.
The source of the problem came from changing the profiles folder location, which made the settings tab disappear and removing my exchange account.
The settings tab for the addon was visible again, after I uninstalled, restarted thunderbird (restarting was necessary) and reinstalled the addon. The settings tab then showed an error that it couldn't find the addon's settings folder, pointing to the old profile location. After uninstalling the addon, restarting tb and installing again, the account showed up again and the addon worked as expected.
Sorry, for being too lazy to write an email.
Hi Daniatic,
please send support requests per email to owl.support at beonex.com, not here.
It appears that you cannot find the Owl settings page.
Unfortunately, Thunderbird (and Firefox) keeps changing the UI and buttons how to access it, with almost every version. So, it's difficult to tell in a generic way, and I need to know your Thunderbird version.
Generally, the Owl settings are accessible in the same way as the settings of all other TB extensions. In Thunderbird 78, depending on which exact view you are on, you need to click on the "..." button for Owl (in the addons list) or the "Preferences" tab (in the addon details page).
And, of course, please make sure that you have the latest version of the addon installed (currently version 0.7.6).

Simple to use, straightforward add-on.
What worked for me: e-mail, shared mailboxes
What didn't work for me: calendar, to do and group mailboxes/calendars
(where I guess the calendar and to do should have been working out of the box and the group mailboxes/calendars haven't been implemented (yet))
