Is it possible to configure kmail to access an exchange server?

Yes? It's suppose to be, but, most likely depends on your school. Most schools are usually pretty Linux friendly.

First would be to ask your school IT people how.

My School IT are *not* Linux friendly, they are Linux illiterate.

Second, try these (but they're pretty old):

This is related, but not KMail per say: https://syncevolution.org/wiki/ms-exchange-and-kde-synchronization

With enough searching and trial and error you should be able to...

Best, Michael

I'll give that a look. Thanks.

This is BS don't waste time. Just configure the IMAP.

But if you want to waste time - you are welcome.

The synchronization part is something I am using daily - but it has nothing to do with Mail. In synchevolution there are TDE plugins for Calendar/Contacts/Memos=Notes/Todos. I sync via Bluetooth - anyway nothing regarding mail.

I don't think it supports native exchange protocol. The best would be to use the IMAP, which hopefully is supported by the exchange server.

This I've tried, but I don't have the correct parameters, if there are any. Once we are back to normal I can try getting this info.

For the moment thunderbird works with exchange - and uses imap for this it seems. But I don't want to use thunderbird as my regular mailer.

What I have done, so that I don't have to think about running thunderbird once a day, is so set it up on a Single Board Computer that I have runnning 24/24 and set up a filter that forwards any mail to my main account.

I'll have to investigate if thunderbird saves the access data somewhere, so I could get the required information for kmail.

but who configured thunderbird?

That's the "magic". All I had to do was type my email address and the password, and thunbderbird "figured out" the other bits - and did not tell me much about it.

What I got is:

IMAP (remote folders) Incoming : IMAP outlook.office365.com SSL Outgoing; SMTP outlook.office365.com STARTTLS Username: <my user name>

I tried to setup IMAP on kmail with outlook.office365.com as host but the server did not accept me. I'd guess the server is directly on the school machines so the school address should appear somewhere, but I don't know how.

I forward from thinderbird because thunderbird is the only thing that I have that knows how to communicate with this outlook stuff.
