Wow, that's pathetic. WTF?

Thanks for the info, however disappointing it is.

Apparently some Microsoft intern is paid to come here and down-mod any comment that's even mildly critical of their products.

Dude... you can do better.

How does it "not support" Office365? No Exchange support?

Condolences on having to use O365, BTW.

After getting my parents new computers, setting them up from scratch, and finding that Windows is an even more depressing shitshow than ever and lacking any competent E-mail program... I installed Thunderbird for the first time in at least a decade and a half.

And I was pleasantly surprised to find that it's better than I remember, and worked great for the 20,000 messages or so in each of their AOL In boxes. Sadly, I'm not kidding about those In boxes.

For my accounts I rely on Apple Mail and SpamSieve, which works well. The dealbreaker for me when I tried Thunderbird years ago is that it lacked any way to export the filters you'd set up, so you could copy them to your other computers. Has this been addressed?

I once wanted this. Now I realize that this will complete Chrome's takeover of the Web, and that sucks.
