Re: Lightening with Davmail not syncing calendar, pls help
I wonder if there is something with Exchange 2010 that doesn't work well with Davmail.
I had used it for a few years in conjunction with Kaivalgai's Conky email script.

Right about the time my employer upgraded to Exchange 2010 I started having trouble with Davmail.
The mail in Thunderbird worked OK, most of the time, but the notification via the Conky email script stopped working all together.
I fiddled with the script a bit (I don't remember what exactly I did.) and was then able to get notification of one new message at a time.
Any other messages aside from the first one were not displayed.
I went to the Davmail site and made sure I added the snippet of code for Exchange 2010, but that didn't help.
There are a couple of solutions:
1. There is an add-on for Thunderbird that will let you access Exchange (including the calendar). I can't remember the name, but I have used it and it worked pretty well.
2. This worked for me, but probably isn't what you are looking for, I installed Popper and it picks up new mail messages from the Exchange server. I then use OWA to read the mail. I did this because I use Mutt for email and just didn't want to setup a separate client for work email on my personal machine. I use Google calendar for all of my appointments, so the Exchange calendar isn't a big deal to me.
Thank you,
