      I am going to have to give this a try. Been looking for a good Linux based Exchange/o365 client.

          Yes you can. Exchange Server is a huge product from Microsoft.

                @brianlittlejohn Then your not using a local sync engine 😉

                  The open-source Nylas Sync Engine does not support Exchange, but the hosted version does.

                    @anonymous Ok, so If I just download the client, it uses their hosted sync agent to talk to my exchange server, then push it back down to the n1 client?

                      I'm still trying to understand what sucks so much about Outlook. confused

                      The lack of tags instead of folders seems to be the biggest thing.

                        @brianlittlejohn That's correct. You now have a middle man, who could is theory read your mail.

                          @Dashrender You have to install it.

                          We need a web client that has all the same features as outlook that is free and open source.

                              @Dashrender I'm just looking for an Outlook replacement for Linux. I use outlook as my everyday client.

                                I'm using O365, I'm not really interested in having yet another possible middle man reading my email.

                                  You can, it's very common. Not advised, but extremely common. Nearly every business still does this. In SW I'd say it is like 80% of companies.

                                    You can't? I've not looked into it, but they call the feature Exchange, not Office 365. It should see self hosted the same as it sees O365.

                                      OH, now I see. They probably don't have an open source Active Sync connector.

                                        Not sure I agree.

                                        Frankly I'm surprised that Scott is doing this other than to know about another product. Why lock yourself down to a non mobile client for email access?

                                        I've been using a web based email client personally for over a decade, I personally purchased a domain name and subscribed to O365 SMB account because I like OWA better than my old client.

                                        So I'm paying around $8/month for my email (when I include the cost the domain name).

                                          N1 seems pretty good. Super easy and very attractive.

                                            I don't like OWA either. I like it more than Outlook, sure, but that's a low bar. Having a good email client would be nice.
