Thunderbird with Exchange - synchronization

Just setup a second Thunderbird profile for Exchange. Using Owl for Exchange plugin.

I right click onto a subfolder, and pick Properties, then go into Synchronization. I click onto a checkbox for "Select this folder for offline use" and I hit OK to close the window. Nothing happens. I go back, and the checkbox is not checked. I tried hitting the Download Now buttons, nothing happened.

Any clue why my check box selection is not accepted?

When I used Outlook, I set it up to use OST, so I have a copy of my email that is on the remote Exchange server. Now I am trying to do the same with Thunderbird.

Thank you

You might have to wait until the native exchange connectivity is released. It is in nightly at the moment I understand.

Thank you. I hope it's coming soon enough. I came across an article that explains how to unlock the feature, but I was not ready to jump on right away.
