Thunderbird doesn't support email Outlook Microsoft Graph REST API
To whom it may concern,
we are switching to outlook365, now is possible use thunderbird client with IMAP, but in the future microsoft may dismiss IMAP and force to use Outlook Microsoft Graph REST API
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/mail-api-overview?view=graph-rest-1.0
is it planned to implent connectivity to this protocol in Thunderbird?
Many thanks
Best regards

I have no idea what "Outlook Microsoft Graph REST API" even is. I am that disinterested in Microsoft and paying someone for email.
I do understand that there are moves afoot to use some Microsoft proprietary protocol with exchange which is what office365 is. See https://blog.thunderbird.net/2024/04/adventures-in-rust-bringing-exchange-support-to-thunderbird/
Sure tht announcement is almost a year old, but I understand elements of it are now in daily developer builds as these discussions would suggest. https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/daily how far from release, I have no idea. But as ESW is still good for another year I don't think there is a rush yet.
