✉️ Mailbird Next and Exchange Email Accounts
Mailbird Next doesn’t just support IMAP: it also works seamlessly with Exchange email accounts. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to connect your Exchange account to Mailbird Next in just a few steps.
🔧 Connecting Your Exchange Email Account
Follow these steps to easily connect your Exchange account:
-
Click the Settings icon in the bottom-left corner of Mailbird Next.
-
Click the Accounts icon at the top.
-
Select the Add account button.
-
Choose Microsoft 365 from the list of account types.
💡 Note: by default, when selecting Microsoft 365 email accounts, these will be added as Exchange accounts, because Microsoft disables IMAP/SMTP for security reasons. This is entirely beyond our control, and you can find our more about this here.
🌐 Sign in to Your Exchange Account
Once you've selected Microsoft 365:
-
A browser window will open, taking you to the Microsoft's login page.
-
If you're already signed in, simply select your account.
-
Alternatively, click Use another account to enter your Exchange email address.
🔐 Provide Your Password
Next you'll need to:
-
Enter the password for your Exchange account.
-
Click Continue once you’ve done that.
